Goodnight friends! Still barely above freezing, but without the glassy elegance of a bright sky, instead labouring under thick, soggy grey cloud cover all day. The day raced past me, unable to decode dull morning from dull late afternoon. Fine piping birdsong among the dark treetops, early lamppost flickers lighting the slim white candles of magnolia buds.

Still somewhat sluggish, but my sinuses feel almost completely clear, my head and lungs free enough that I got back to my full stretching routine without and major hiccups, and not too major a loss of flexibility I hope – though we’ll see how my tendons feel about that tomorrow.

May we recognise and accept failures and struggles as integral to our growth and learning today!
