Day Forty-One, 2025

 Full'ish Moon

I do not subscribe to werewolf beliefs and though I've been watching the Harry Potter Movies recently I am not obsessed with witchcraft.  Despite all this I LOVE being on a walk on a winter evening when it's so cold you need to bundle up but not so cold your nose risks frostbite.  Hat and scarf covering all but your face so you can feel the wind gently buffettng against your body but your legs keep chugging along in heavy (warm) boots and then when you're almost home you look up to see the moon mostly hidden behind clouds and framed by empty tree branches.  It stops me in my tracks.

Could be the CBG talking (thc free, mood booster) but tonight's view from the top of the arboretum was exactly what I needed to cap off a decent day.

Possibly I'm feeling a rush because I FINALLY finished and returned a book I started almost two months ago, 

Maybe I'm just happy because the pain in my shoulder is so much less now than it has been the past few months (so I can start attempting yoga again), 

Maybe all this is just because J and I are alright again, this evening I helped my son edit and send his resume off (please cross your fingers, he's been trying to find student work for about a year now). but 

Maybe it's just that I'm one of the lunatic fringe.  

Whatever the reason it's nice to sit down and be able to say that despite all my worries this brain is in Growth Mindset mode, everything is figureoutable and it feels nice to feel calm this evening.

Hope it's not just the moon and that this sticks
