Stretched and aching
Tendons in motion releasing
The clenched tightness falls
Into a loose flow,
Moving back and forth
Dance to the sky lit in glory
The motion of fluid life
Easing into the sway
Of a blessed new day.
This feeling of alive joy,
With each muscle that tells the story
Of encountering souls
As we move through this space
With kindness and a smile
We pivot and gather energy
With each step, shuffle and stretch
As the deep breaths taken
Seep down into the marrow of bones
And leave us charged
Electric and so very aware
Alive we glide
Into amazingness.
I began my new job two days ago and learning once more how to stand on my feet for six hours a day solid for the last two days, I find I’ve been sleeping so well and wake up feeling so tight, as I stretch my muscles and just feel that aching tightness drift away as I sit now sipping my coffee and happy. I love the interaction with each person I speak to, as I hand out samples of delicious things and to see the joy as they try new things. My writing and reading my be a bit delayed but it’s a part time job four days a week, just what I needed. Spreading joy to rushed holiday shoppers in a small way. Yesterday was peppermint mocha cafe latte, I went home enveloped in the scent…..so peaceful and calming. Can’t go wrong there. Peace and blessings and a day of entertaining new neighbors tonight, ribs and sweet tater salad and baked beans…..oh my……๐๐๐โฎ
thanks Kat, loving it totally 3

When she was young my daughter was a seeking missile for these. As soon as we crossed the threshold her eyes were tracking and to this day I swear I heard this little beeping as she honed in
