On Equinoxes and Sweeping Carpet at the Restaurant

I've been working 40 hour weeks at the restaurant, save last Mon-Fri when I took off to go visit Grandma and Grandpa. It as a really pleasant time. I so enjoy my days with them. I can also tell the effect I have on them when I'm around, and I think it lifts their spirits a lot. Equinox is tonight. This means the sun crosses the equator and moves back into the Northern hemisphere. Hooray for warmth and she draws closer. As she does so I can lay off the coffee and begin to eat more fruits and veggies. It feels so good. I'm so passionate about food. I really hope to win queen of the forest and to get an internship. Preferably FCB. Their work is so inspiring. They did the gun violence ads with the empty hoods. I have 30 days of hot yoga and I went on Monday. That was the first day bought. I'm happy I went. I will go as many times as I can these next 30 days. There was one point. It's when you go Japanese seated then back up on knees. Hands behind back pushing hips forward. The second time I really got into the hooks of the pose. I pushed further and further into it. The teacher said verrrrrrry good and then let us release. I think she was talking to me. When she turned back over to savasana I felt of rush of warm emotion. I wanted to cry. I really pushed something out. I leveled up.

I loved it. It felt so good in that moment. I hope to further my practice.


Lots of thoughts lately. Sweeping under tables at work allows for a lot of that. And I've been driving with no music on lately because the birds have begun singing songs of spring again.

They say in Equinox, this is the intermediary. The time in between. The twilight of seasons. When its not quite winter and not quite summer. We reflect on our heard work, analyze our efforts, and envision fervently. Watch the fruits of those efforts ripen in our minds. This in between time is when the magic happens. When little inexplicable efforts of the universe conspire to help us along our vision.

I've gotten restless again, as I do in the summer. I wonder if I go somewhere with a warmer climate if I will sleep less in general. Maybe my circadian rhythm changes a bit as my body temperature tweaks. And the vitamin D re-energizes me.
