After having spent an entire day, curled up in the couch recuperating, I was highly present this morning. The rest did me good, and I thank Spencer for staying home to take care of me. Stretching awake, and sitting outside in the cool morning breeze today felt extra special. After a day of being totally out of balance physically, it’s amazing how good coming back into balance feels.
