Friday, May 15, 2009.   Final layout is almost done on the June Horizons Magazine. Wow, I am late finishing it this month.  I woke up this morning at 3:30 am, did my meditation and now, just 2 hours later, I am going to go back to bed for a few hours. After my little tummy bug bout on Monday, I’ve skipped my evening yoga this week to conserve my energy.  That sounds funny as I type it – skip my yoga to conserve energy??  I do some stretches here and there all throughout the day, but I’m not doing anything inverted or taxing.  I know that simple yoga stretches can really work your muscles, and I’m all for daily yoga.  It keeps my muscles long and limber, and keeps me sane.  So it’s essential for me to do some form of it off and on throughout the day, to keep the energy lines open inside my body.

I started back yesterday eating every few hours and am now fully hydrated and feel fairly fueled.  Yesterday for lunch I made an onion, carrot and celery soup, sauteing the vegetables to a caramel before adding fresh basil, rosemary and tomato from the garden.  Then I added some vegetable broth and a few butter peas; forty minutes later it was delicious.   When I am feeling low energy, an intense veggie and greens soup fixes me right up.  I drank the broth on and off throughout the day, and had some watermelon and a slice of Ezekiel toast with tomato.  I’m glad now that I made enough soup to have some for today as well.

Now, for me, time to go back to bed for a couple of hours and then get up to finish the mag.  I’ve got just 186 emails left to go, only about 30 of them are ads for the June magazine.  The rest are just awaiting response or action after I get my job to the printer.  I usually run about 100 emails a day behind, but I get through them pretty quickly.

Life is good!
