Friday

It's the beginning of a long weekend and my plans are decidedly low key.

They involve watching some television online, and doing a few errands.

Sleep.

Maybe yoga, if my shoulder is up to it.

Somewhere in the last two weeks I managed to badly aggravate the car accident shoulder injury.

I've been avoiding yoga (and especially downward dog) like the plague, trying to convince my shoulder to loosen up and heal.

There will be lots of reading.

And maybe a little bit of cooking.

And hopefully sleep.

I'm aiming, still, for rest and restoration.

For time for breathing.

For joy and laughter.

For continued small steps of healing.

Looking Forward

Since I'm all about celebrating even the small things, here are a few things, both bigger and smaller, that I'm looking forward to the next several weeks:
  • Looking forward to watching the season finales of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice online tomorrow
  • Looking forward to hanging out with a dear friend, and her daughter next week
  • Looking forward to seeing all of the vegetables and flowers I planted grow, and then cooking with them
  • Looking forward to two weeks of house-sitting for my folks - two weeks of staying in the same bed every night!
  • Looking forward to spending some time bus reading in the near future
  • Looking forward to finally seeing U2 live in concert!
