Look Skyward, Angel

I felt a bit jangly, shaky. Chair even tipped over--with me on it--when I was reaching for my citrus sticker sheet that fell to the floor in Joyist today. I might be drinking too much coffee?  I did have a tall cup at home for breakfast, one latte and two Java Love energy bites.

But I got to my 4:30 p.m. Gentle Yoga class after that, and it was good.

"Inhale, positivity," said our teacher, Anne, during the nice long guided meditation part at the end. "Exhale, your worries and your cares. Inhale, positivity. Exhale, your worries and your cares."

I repeated that mantra in my mind the whole walk home, looking up at the bright moon in the dark sky every chance I got.
