Just Picture It: Flying High

I took this picture on our flight last week, and although I know it's quite simple, I still found it really beautiful. I'm not someone who loves flying (travel, I like, but flying, not so much...), but I think there is something very magical about getting in a big machine and flying through the sky in order to visit a new place. And, although I've completely enjoyed our numerous adventures out of town over the past few months, I'm really looking forward to keeping my feet on the ground for a little while.

Ben and I keep going back and forth on whether we want to stay in town for Thanksgiving, and I think we're caught up in that very typical struggle between staying home/saving time and money/relaxing vs. traveling/spending money/visiting with friends and family and coming home utterly exhausted but happy. When did it become so hard to visit friends and family? Just another difficulty of the modern yuppie couple's life, I guess...sigh ;)

Anyways, today I'm just enjoying settling back in. I taught an early morning yoga class, did a little work, took a hot bath and treated myself to a big cup of "cold season" tea with honey (for the sore throat I brought home!). Now I'm off to set-up for an afternoon of painting, and if I feel up to it--baking. Nothing like home, sweet home and a cool fall day spent creating in your sweats!

Have you made time to nurture your body, mind, or soul yet this week? If not, pencil it into your schedule ASAP.

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
