A thing for spring

Yesterday I took a day off work because I was supposed to do a thing in the capital... but at the very last minute, it got canceled.

So instead I packed up the dogs and headed for my favorite dog walking beach.

It wasn't as good as last time, when we were completely alone. There were quite some people, and I kept running into them, and they were loud and chatty.

Surprisingly though, I still relaxed and enjoyed myself. At the tiny part of the beach that is sandy I even took off my shoes and socks and wandered a bit in the water. (cold! brrrr)

In the afternoon I thought I'd finally kick my butt to yoga - something I've been planning to do for about two years! - but in the end I managed to misread the hours and missed the right time.

It's like I'm trying to avoid it at all cost and I don't know why. I can feel my body needs to stretch, what with sitting behind my desk for 8 hours straight and then spending the rest of the day on the couch.

So instead I read another chapter of the midnfulness book and did another exercise.

And suddenly I' remembering how much I used to enjoy meditation, and suddenly I'm realizing just how wound up I am.

I couldn't fall asleep until 2 AM, I kept thinking about why I'm so wound up and about Cc... even cried a little bit... finally I gave up, put on 3rd rock from the sun and 3 episodes finally rocked me to sleep.

Last week and part of this week were terrible, I was anxious and restless and didn't know what to do with myself. So I was surprised to feel better yesterday evening and today, too. It's sunny outside, the spring is coming full swing and something inside of me just wants to get outside and be outside.

So for this afternoon I plan a shorter walk with the dogs, a short rollerskating session and a short jog.

Sunshine makes me feel giddy.
