February 2

The moon was so bright last night that my yard looked magical. Today after stuffing myself into my yoga pants, taking my first yoga class since November and then doing sauna and cold plunge, Mike and I worked on the ice on our driveway. We were able to get a lot done and tonight the magic will be gone, covered by chunks of ice that we threw from the driveway and into the yard. My Oura ring clocked that I got into Zone 4 – I really need to focus on getting my heart rate up this year. I would be so happy to get my cardiovascular age down, right now my ring says it is 3 years younger than my actual age. I don’t even know what ‘age’ I want it to be, maybe I’ll shoot for 5 years younger.

The Venerable Monks are walking 2,300 miles for peace and today is day 100, stopping in Richmond. They will be here in Fredericksburg on Thursday. I work until 2pm, I hope that I get to see them and Aloka the Peace dog. They are walking from Ft. Worth Texas to Washington DC, on schedule to complete their walk on Feburary 10 or 11. May the monks and all beings be well, happy and at peace. Bye for now!
