Observation Journal (March 1st)

This morning, I became aware of my gait. I was walking much better than I can recall in recent memory. I felt much more graceful and agile. I felt as though my posture was straightening out again. I don’t know if you can say it was because I only really drank warm fluids yesterday (tea, green tea, herbal teas) or if it’s due to my lack of junk food. Regardless, I feel better than I can recall I have in the past several months. My outlook seems so much brighter — maybe it was finding not one, not two, but three cherry blossom trees growing around town. In fact, I noticed we have a cherry blossom tree right behind our apartment on Saturday afternoon. I didn’t notice that before, and we’ve been in our current apartment for over two years now. For today, I’ve felt at peace with life and myself. I don’t know what brought this on, but I welcome more days like this. To be at peace in the present moment is to live a life of happiness.
