Goodnight friends! Dull and mottled morning, cleared by scraping degrees under the patient scouring of a slight but still bitterly cold breeze, until canopies burned a brilliant firework yellow against an immense flat ice-blue vault of sky, even the oaks more copper than green now. Hovering in the mid single degrees c, every day seeming a little colder.

Cold weather definitely hitting me hard every day now, by mid afternoon I feel like every step is lugging a lead overcoat around with me, my thinking slowing to a crawl. Aiming to mindfully acknowledge the real deficit, while also working to pace and compensate as much as possible, keep stretching and doing periodic exercise to stay mobile.

May we notice and celebrate the people and moments that fill us with joy and gratitude today!
