Level setting

My daughter climbed Masada today and rode a camel. When I was her age, I had never been on an airplane. This is who we are now. This is why I work. That they should have a new world and a firm-footing in it. I was thinking about lining my snow boots with bread bags this morning and how we never did that for our kids. Admittedly, boot technology has improved and they spent much less time outside than I did in the long winters, but if they had leaky boots, I would have bought new ones. I think we all had snowmobile boots. Rubber bottoms with felt liners and nylon tops. We could get them at Agway and they were a necessity.

Yesterday was terrible. I did manage to take a sunny walk around the Reservoir listening to the story of Beren and Luthien. Nice to have a fairy tale in the midst of the lands and wars and migrations. Did my yoga, but it was the sleepy one which bugs me. I got very little sleep due to being upset.

Today was better. I went for groceries but will do yoga later and maybe walk to the bakery for baguette. Word of the day is courage.

Brave hear.
