Well I wanted to come in to community to share a big win with the group. Here in Virginia we are still dealing with a major snowstorm covered in inches of sleet making it hard to melt or clear. Yesterday the Sun was out and I felt this urge to get out and shovel snow! So I did. I worked about an hour! And same thing today. The thing is I have not shovelled snow for a decade! It was too painful or I didn't feel strong enough, but because I've been doing this everyday energy movement for almost 4 months now, I feel strong, I feel balanced. I would have never had the urge to do physical labor. So I am feeling deeply grateful for Drew and this group. Loving movement!

A short, easy standing session to wake up the joints and build a little energy. Nothing intense today. Just simple movements, meeting yourself where you’re at. A Sunday morning reminder that a few minutes of movement is enough to keep the body feeling alive and connected.

Today is a seated full-body workout with weights. A reminder that we don’t need beautiful gyms or perfect conditions to move. Whatever you have around you can become a tool for movement. We move any time, any place, in simple, practical ways. We do it because we’re the kind of people who move our bodies every day.

Today’s movement is slow and intentional. Every movement is synced to your breath. This is a chance to calm the nervous system while gently building mobility and strength. Notice how light movement and focused breathing can reduce stress and anxiety. Move well and take care of yourself today.

No matter how bad your situation may seem, there are tens of thousands of things to be grateful for in life. Below is a simple list of things to be grateful for from the Little Buddha website. —Most of the items, if not all, will apply to you too. I’m sure as you read this list, you’ll think of many more things to be grateful for. (I’d include Drew as # 18.) Here are sixty things to be grateful for in our lives: 1. Your parents – for giving birth to you. Because if there is no them, there will not be you. 2. Your family – for being your closest kin in the world. 3. Your friends – for being your companions in life. 4. Sense of sight – for letting you see the colors of life. 5. Sense of hearing – for letting you hear trickle of rain, the voices of your loved ones, and the harmonious chords of music. 6. Sense of touch – for letting you feel the texture of your clothes, the breeze of the wind, the hands of your loved ones. 7. Sense of smell – for letting you smell scented candles, perfumes, and beautiful flowers in your garden. 8. Sense of taste – for letting you savor the sweetness of fruits, the saltiness of seawater, the sourness of pickles, the bitterness of bitter gourd, and the spiciness of chili. 9. Your speech – for giving you the outlet to express yourself. 10. Your heart – for pumping blood to all the parts of your body every second since you were born; for giving you the ability to feel. 11. Your lungs – for letting you breathe so you can live. 12. Your immune system – for fighting viruses that enter your body. For keeping you in the pink of your health so you can do the things you love. 13. Your hands – so you can type on your computer, flip the pages of books, and hold the hands of your loved ones. 14. Your legs – for letting you walk, run, swim, play the sports you love, and curl up in the comfort of your seat. 15. Your mind – for the ability to think, to store memories, and to create new solutions. 16. Your good health – for enabling you to do what you want to do and for what you’re about to do in the future.
