Quiet Rainy Day

Well, I did it!  I actually got in the pool at the Y after yoga class yesterday!  What a kick.  Have no idea why I deny myself such pleasures - makes no sense at all - but I do.  Anyhow, I got the first one done, perhaps others will follow.  Also had a delightful sit in the hot tub - beautiful firm jet streams and temperature.  Then a shower and shampoo - all free with my job as a yoga teacher one hour per week.  What a bargain.  Not only have I made lots of new yoga friends, but I enjoy the facilities too.....It's raining this morning - hope it continues for a while, but not predicted to do so.  The water level of the Pond keeps going down.  I guess the water table is still so low it can't hold the water even if it does come up for a day or so.  So, this morning I'll simply enjoy another few hours of solitude with the beauty of a soft rain cleansing the air and the surroundings.  The colors of the trees and grasses and weeds and shrubs all seem brighter even in the dullness of the light while it's raining. ...... Moon was close to full last evening - didn't even need light to get from the Yogatorium to my cottage after class.
