Hello, friends!
What does the universe do when you have your head too far in the clouds? Why, bring you back down to earth just a little bit!
After a day off from skating yesterday, I happily hit the Lafayette-Moraga Trail early this morning. My mood was sunny, dreamy, a bit romantic. Here's the song by Naturally 7 that I was listening to, which fit my mood perfectly:
Gone with the Wind by Naturally 7:
Gone With the Wind
(#LoveLustandLonging, song #3)
(Tie in to Song #2, Sway by Michael Buble: Naturally 7 opened for Michael Buble during his 2010 tour. Naturally 7 makes every sound with just their mouths and hands...not a gimmick, just good music, but impressive when you stop and think that the music is totally a cappella.)
After strapping on my gear (no socks, you'd think my last blog about preparation would have had a better effect on me), I stepped carefully through the new extra-thick layer of gravel that was just added to the parking area, and I stepped onto the trail, thinking how gracefully I had negotiated the walk through the gravel.
Without realizing what happened, I found myself sitting on the pavement. I wasn't hurt, just surprised to find myself at ground level. I'm not sure even how I fell. I dusted off my pride and stood up again. Whoom, back on the pavement. A little chuckle at myself, another pride dusting, and I hoisted myself back to standing again.
A bit of dreaminess is a wonderful thing (and I do enjoy my dreamy side), but skating reminds me to also stay centered and solidly in my body as well. It's all about balance.
