Five easy Miles today. Diving back in after being dizzy and injuring my arm two weeks ago. Hiking cross training with my campers everyday seemed to keep me in shape. Hopefully, a long run works out tomorrow and training falls into place.
It’s precious to have plants landscaped around the property that remind us of fond memories, as if to be jewels beneath gorgeous flowers or stones, or seeing the livley butterfly’s.
On all of my running adventures, I love to focus on a positive affirmation, which may be connected to a workout or perhaps be just a mentality of focus. Finding poetry or mantras to remember or listen to in an audio book is an entertaining mindful soul fueling way to endure mileage.
Running aside, the fall two weeks ago set back a private violin concert planned for quite some time just for my mom and I, on August 15th. Sometimes we just fall to get back up again. There will be another time we'll stop by a pretty church or garden, have her sit for my classical tunes and then go out to dinner after. Finding perfection in the imperfect is a vision for artists. My first real violin has several cracks along the sound holes that were repaired to a point of being playable, which is a difficulty to play an antique lacking modern pegs yet having a gorgeous sound. Now, I feel like I have found a balance between playing an antique with a gorgeous sound while having a luxury of pegs that turn. All those years of six hour sessions on the real monstrous antique led to a more comfortable era. There’s something significant about knowing times to push through an obstacle or just drop the rope and create a completely new idea, new dates and places. Being flexible while accepting extraneous situations like falling, with making new dates is going to lead to an enjoyable powerful experience, creating something new. And then we’ll have the halloween concert…. 🎃
