Gonna go nap... Hope to wake up and really go at the writing today.

Good night groovy souls!

I am hoping to return to running tomorrow.

Blessed Solstice. I watched the sunset on my cameras, but watched it all the same. The long night has begun but the sun rises higher on the morrow.

Hail the hope of Spring; it is coming! The dawn always comes!

Another 1665 words and another chapter!

I am on fire! (Not literally)

@th3j35t3r Mr Jester, thank you for this place. It has been and continues to be a profound source of light in my life.

You've done something quite remarkable here.

Party party party!

Good morning groovy souls!

I'm feeling better today but my energy is still low. We are making progress!

It's solstice! Hail the return of light and the dawn of the Hope of Spring! Hail Lady Eostre, Goddess of the Dawn!

This day of deepest darkness shows the truth that no night lasts forever.

May the blessings of hope be found in each of your lives on all of your days!

It is a day for joy! Hail unto the victory of the Dawn!

Up very late...

Good night groovy souls! I'm gonna rest a while, and hope to feel less blah in the morning.

My eye has hurt today, and I'm all congested, but I've had amazing banana bread and done some writing I'm truly proud of.

Light and dark must both exist. I will feel better soon enough, and that will be another reason for joy.

The dawn always comes!

1460 more words written! It's a two chapter day.

Total word count for the day is 3150 words!

Alright Coso buddies. I'm a tired beast. I'm hoping some sleep will mean I can do a full session at the gym tomorrow

I don't know what's up with me lately. It might be the season. This time of year, my energy often seems to fall off a cliff

But its been a good day. I've had a wonderful time with all of you here. I'm getting my writing done, took the time to meditate and read

There's always reason for hope somewhere, and the smallest bit of light beats the dark

Onward, towards the dawn!

A snippet from yesterday's writing i'm especially proud of.

#gym stats!

Yesterday was effortless. Today it was incredibly tough. Every time I started to get into rhythm, I felt strained and sickly. Fatigue was high, and the energy to push was not there.

I know how to ignore that, and just burn through the time, but that makes the next day that much more of a slog.

I got on the elliptical to kick off my second hour and knew it would be better to come home, but I didn't want to.

Progress is the next step, it's not burning yourself down.

Good morning all you renegade eccentrics.

After morning journal I'm finally going to get underway to the gym.

There have been many small interruptions that have slowed me down today, but I'm still on the bounce.

My morning HRV reading told me that my body is under a higher stress load after the workout yesterday and is recommending I go lighter. I might do a little less running. We will see.

Progress is not made with excess, it's made by taking the next step.

Onward, towards the dawn!

Good night all you renegade eccentrics.

It's been a busy day and I am feeling it! The ability to rest is a wonderful blessing that's so easy to overlook for me. I always want to go but sometimes the only way to keep going is to stop.

Life loves those seeming contradictions, but life is a balance above all. There can be no progress without rest, they are two sides of the same coin.

It's ok to be gentle with yourself.

Me: I'm going to start the polish edits of Farthest Star today!

#Gym Stats!

I ran 7.20 miles, and honestly did just fine. I had a lot of energy from over eating yesterday.

Im wondering if me being that hungry and just kind of going with it was the body wanting to recover?

It is as strange a mercurial a thing to me as I no doubt am to it.

Anyhow... Pushing harder and get further! I'm gratified to know I didn't totally derail myself by one down day of low discipline.

Good morning groovy souls.

It's time to get back to the gym and get after it.

It is a great day because we can be here in this moment together, and help each other along the path. It is a great day because we breathe, because there is always light to find.

There is hope in every breath, every moment.

Onward, towards the dawn!

I've done some heavy journaling, and a lot of thinking. I'm going to head to bed for now.

Bright side, Ive had a good rest day and it's back to full sessions at the gym tomorrow.

No failure is permanent if you refuse to quit. As long as you get back up, it just becomes a setback that will make you stronger.

Onward, Towards the dawn!

Good night groovy souls!

Its been a full day and now its time to rest!

The Great decluttering has begun and I've got two contractor bags of donations to take to the donation center!

Tomorrow I hope to make a dump run and throw out some stuff thats built up in cabinets and what not.

Onward, towards the dawn!

I was going to do an hour but this is supposed to be my recovery week and I’m already exceeding what the app suggests.

Middle path. I’m so tired of pushing into injury and losing progress so I’m trying to be smart AND dedicated.

Slow and steady wins the race. Boy did my ancestors learn that the hard way. No one has ever let us forget it. 🐇
