I saved a handful of petals from yesterday to make this one. I was trying for the Fibonacci spiral in the center. I think I got a spiral but it isn’t Mr. Fibonacci’s.

My word today is Balance. I managed to accomplish a yoga class today. While I was creaky and achy (and cranky) for many of the twists and hip openers, I nailed all the balance poses, which was nice. And different. It was an odd feeling, as though I could settle into them and keep breathing. I don’t get that much. Later when I went to take the river pictures, my feet slipped and I slithered down a steep hill not spilling my bike and not landing on my butt – breathing hard and rattled but upright. Balance. Then there is the whole mental balance issue. And life balance issue. And balancing different people’s wants against each other.

The girls and I are headed to my mother’s for a couple days. Aerin stays and goes to sailing camp and Grandma Camp for two weeks, Alice and I return after a couple days.
