Well, I am capable of being happy. I had the best day.

This morning, because of the holiday, my regular fitness class wasn't held. Instead, they had a combined class with all three class levels later in the morning. The instructor mostly did exercises from the advanced class, which they call " boot camp". And, I DID IT! Freakin' Amazing. Makes me feel like I am capable of far more than I thought.

This afternoon, strapped on snowshoes and went down to the local park and back, about 5 miles total. One heck of a workout .

Part of what my mind does is start picking at the memory and it takes a great deal of discipline to shut that process down and accept the good as being good - whatever the details.

Keep going, you're doing well

How is the urban farm going?

I had to, under the circumstances, get rid of the birds in Aug/Sept. Overall ok by me, they were fun but a lot of work. Miss the eggs, though.
