The track

[vaneramos]

Slowly, oh so very slowly
Accept that
There's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
'Cause this ride's never gonna stop

Jem: "Just a ride". Good time to listen. This week has been potentially devastating. Few things have been further from my mind than exercise. Even my morning routine fell into disrepair for a couple days, but I got back on track with that today.

I need the exercise, too, now as much as ever. Sunday evening I lifted weights (abs, chest and back), nothing Monday, walked downtown and back Tuesday, nothing again yesterday.

Today after work I lifted weights again (abs, triceps and biceps) accompanied by my upbeat play list. After physical exertion elevated my heart rate it came down naturally, instilling a sense of calm. Meanwhile A Fine Frenzy and Spirit of the West released knots in my brain. Small blessings.

Tomorrow I'll go for a walk after work. Saturday I'll work abs, shoulders and thighs. That's the plan.

The photo is a memento of Winnipeg: the dome of the Manitoba Legislative Building.

The photo was taken from the inside, I presume? It's quite beautiful.

Yes, it was an amazing room. I wish I could have recorded the acoustics. They were eerily beautiful.

Seeing domes like this, and ones from Russia and from various Islamic mosques, always reminds me of an egg and stirs a faint desire to work on one-- even out of season. :)

I can see how it would inspire you!
