A moment of self-reflection... and heaven.

I'm sitting here, enjoying some Dessa, wanting to share this comic that I saw yesterday morning while perusing the paper. I look at the comics roughly once every 10 months, so I'm glad that there was something enjoyable in there.

I wonder if the clouds would require special oil/lube for the chain. Probably not in heaven. 

Despite starting the day off right with some yoga, not buying a donut at the shop across the street from the yoga studio, and buying a fun present for a friend's baby, I got myself into some weird funk today.

I blame the chicken. It was a stewing hen from a local farm. I never realized - before today - that they really aren't good for much. So, instead of roasted chicken, I made chicken soup. I felt like a stewing hen, though, today - - - all tense and tough and leathery - - - until I had a revelation. 

All the stuff hanging over my head, the ongoing two-steps-forward-one-step-back nature of my daily life, etc., is pretty much self-imposed. So, I blew it off, and when looking for an image for this blog of "two steps forward, one step back" I found some quote on the Internet about even two steps forward and one step back ends up being forward progress. Whew!

Speaking of forward progress, some people are signing up for the trivia night. Yay! We still have space, if you're interested in joining us. Let me know! As of the other day, I am now the team captain for our MS 150 team. This should be interesting.
