knitting

One thing I've started doing this year to help relax is knitting. I've been finding it a really nice way to meditate without having to sit still. I guess meditate isn't the right word......it gives me something mindless to do so I can just be. But at the end, you have something nice. I've really been enjoying it. I've dabbled in yarn crafts since I was young, but never actually did it for any length of time. Now, I'm finding it's one of my favourite things to do at the end of the day. Maybe that's a sign I'm getting older:)

I think the same can be said for pushups, situps...they are something mindless you can do. While you are doing them you don't have to think about anything else. You are in the moment and you can relax.

basic numbers: 51 pushups, 52 kicks, 2 reps tai chi, 1 rep broadsword, 2 miles.

Acts of kindness: gave the dogs treats, gave Julia a back rub, encouraged someone,

Today I consumed: some leftover pasta with an egg on toast and some berries, 2 sticks of pepperoni, a cookie, half a chicken sandwich with some fries, 2 cups of coffee, 8 glasses of water.
