Luke told me that it would be cold but not as cold as the next three days.  I looked into the yard and saw a warming.  Although plants are still asleep,  they are gaining strength for spring and their awakening.  

I feel congested which makes waking up and getting up hard.  But I am determined.  So up I get.  I try to breath in health and strength.  I shower.  I do my practices and also hatha yoga.  

It's all right to be tired.  It's all right to have this wintery period.  When I'm ready,  I'll start working again.  Like moving into spring.  

I want to get out of the house today.  MKate,  being the great friend that she is,  told me that she'd take me to Bed,  Bath and Beyond where I'll get a slow cooker.  This will help me cook healthy meals while I am working.  I don't push.  When I'm tired,  I go home.

Luke and I watched the International Dance Competition.  So interesting to see the art of dance expressed through so many mirrors.
