Yoga?!
Recent studies have shown that yoga beats walking when it comes to making you feel a little brighter.
Something about increasing levels of GABA. Check it out! Try it and see.

Spring Happy!
I was so dark-of-the-winter dirt deprived early March I whopped out the strap-on headlamp and planted potatoes by lamplight and tilled at midnight. Planted lettuce, bok choi, onions, chard. This weekend it was early tomatoes, cabbage and onions with leaves and plastic. Oh it was good!
My blood pressure went down, my spirits soared. I'm just plain old Spring Happy.

Twitter and the Blue Bird of Happiness
You may be old enough (or not) to remember "the blue bird of happiness." Wikipedia, source of all interesting information says the blue bird (here the species as well as the symbol, I reckon) is "the most universally accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births, the renewal of springtime."
I keep seeing Twitter ads with all those little blue birds cheeping and hopping and frankly, they make me smile. Even giggle. It's a good thing. I'm reminded of how easy it is to laugh at anything or even no-thing just because. And I'm reminded of how beautiful the birds are.
I was working in the yard snatching vines off of a bank today and found a dove egg. Now I've seen sparrow eggs and robin's eggs and eggs of all sorts--this is an egg of a different sort. It almost glows with pearlescence. I only know it's a dove egg because I know they nest in this particular cedar.
It's unfortunate that this dove egg fell, and miraculous that it landed intact. Perhaps there was a bluebird watching, or twittering in the cedar announcing the fall and stirring the wind to move branches in such as way as to soften the egg's fall. The beautiful soft glowing egg just sits, being beautiful.
It sits, glowing, on my kitchen windowsill. There's that Twitter commercial again...and all those blue birds

Finding Balance at the Edge of the Cliff
"You find your balance at the edge of the cliff," she said, "just when you're about to fall." Is this true or what?! I'd spent yesterday about to fall, even lost my footing a time or two, and gratefully friends helped pull me back to the safety of solid ground. I found my balance, and regained my footing.
Wish the world's leaders could do the same.
