Oh Glorious Day!

Yep, this is back-dated.

Woke up at 5:30 am to get the kids out of bed for the first day of school.  Did a new yoga routine that was really tough and challenging and invigorating while they were getting ready.  At 6:30 they were out the door (DH was already at work before we got up).
Did some work on polycon stuff for a few hours and a little LJ reading (hoping texasbek  is having a good first week of teaching ~wave & smooches~).

At 12:30, realized the breeze blowing the leaves outside the window and the birds singing were just way too inviting for me to stay chained to the laptop.  Invited Cosmo to go for a walk.  We had an absolutely lovely 2.5 mi walk wherein the sky was blue, the sun was warm, the breeze was perfectly refreshing, and we saw not another human being the entire time.  No kids running around and yelling, no cars, no other walkers.  It was him and me, and it was glorious.  I LOVE the first day of school!

DH came home and I bragged about my day.  There's more - I think I made a really nice dinner and all that, but I forget after 2 weeks.  The whole time I was walking, I was thinking about how to describe the experience and the day in LJ, and you know, I kind of think that's a problem.  If my mind is composing, then I'm not being mindful or present in the experience.  And that is why I didn't just rush home to write about it.  I did try to pull back into mindfulness, but I wasn't terribly successful.  And then the 2nd came and I only had a week left till the con, so I had to put all posting on hold.
