 A body in motion stays in motion.  A body at rest gets flabby.  (Maybe that's not quite how Newton put it...)   Anyhow, my body has been at rest too long, so I am trying to put it back in motion.

So, I packed my cross-trainers and ipod and headed outside for a walk on my lunch break.  Aside from a number of other walkers and a few bike riders, the birds were out in droves.  I saw wood storks, anhinga, ibises, ducks, herons and seagulls, to name a few.   (And it was a balmy 72'F - perfect!)

Hopefully, this will become habit forming :-)

Happy corner-viewing!

I am currently reading Paco's Story by Larry Heinemann for my university course, The Vietnam Experience.  While it is a very "heavy" subject, it is proving to be a very good read.  (As to the subject matter... hence, the glass of wine, which I consider an educational tool ;-) )

Happy corner-viewing!

p.s. To Nadine - no, I'm not a Buddhist as I don't believe in reincarnation.  (I do like the thought though.  Then I can have Johnny Depp in my next life.)  However, I am at the Buddhist center at least once a week.   (I've been taking meditation classes there.) The people are wonderful and I like the general mindset, "Do no harm."

On Christmas Eve, the Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Center had a Festival of Lights.  We had a lesson and then meditated in the "dark" with only the lights on the alter.

Happy new year!
