Friday Morning Moon Photos

Above are picturestaken this morning Venus and the moon are (were) very close together.

im pretty sure I could detect the moons relatively rapid movement as it slowly sinks lower in the sky below Venus. Look at the upper left photo and the lower right photo. The positions of a Venus and the Moon are slightly different..

I’m glad it’s Friday.

Have a great weekend !

Very Special Mat

I bought this mat for my ex, who said she wanted a yoga mat. She said she didn’t like it, too heavy, and never used it. This was years before I started yoga, and when I did, this was the first mat I used. But, I didn’t really like this mat either, because of its history, being for my ex. So I bought my own mat. Then another, then another. Since then, I’ve used (and worn out) several mat. Then I came back to this one, as my experience recognized it as a really really good mat.

I noticed there were no other mats like it or similar, and not even the yoga store owners could identify it. It’s clearly a Manduca, but seems unique.

So finally, the other day, I emailed and asked about this mat..below is the reply I received

This thrills me to no end. I know it’s a dumb thing to be overly happy about, but it really does.

I have another unique seeming mat, it’s a Manduka Pro too, I’m sure, but it is a little longer and a little wider than standard sized mats and I love it because it was a very special gift from a very special teacher. I kinda set it aside and saving it from wear and tear, although it doesn’t seem to wear and tear at all.

Have a great day!

Constant Lightning

It was starry and clear overhead, with a nice Crescent Moon but there was a lightning storm out at sea. The lightning was constant. It was quiet with no thunder.

I made the above GIF from a video that I took this morning..

Happy Tuesday! Have a great day

Lazy Weekend

I had a very lazy weekend. I napped a lot both Saturday and Sunday.

I did go to my secret spot for a cuppa coffee. And I did take Lenny to the beach and to a friend’s pool.

And I had landscapers come over and start to clean up the rocks in the yard, but it started raining so they’re coming back this week.

Now it’s another Monday and I’m headed off to work.

Have a great week!

Unspeakable Evil

Article HERE (one of many)

Graphic VIDEO here

This Woman was minding her own business and was stabbed in the neck 3 times. She bled to death.

Tha assailant reportedly said “Got that white girl” as he walked away. Helluva motive for murder.

Well established criminal.

I did not ever imagine such evil could exist in this world. I’m very unsettled by this.

Good Mornings

Yesterday and today have been good mornings. I’ve walked the dog, run a little swam a little and did a little yoga.. Pre dawn has been beautiful with flat flat flat calm sea, and light from an almost full moon.

I’ve lived in the Cayman Islands almost 30 years, and I’m still grateful to be here every day.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Monday Woes

Alas, woe is me! Another Monday! I think we got shorted a day this weekend.

Friday I went to a memorial for an old friend, Graham. A long standing member of our recovery community

Saturday was a housecleaning day and Saturday evening I had a small group of friends come over for filet mignon and thick tuna steaks on the grill

Sunday was beach yoga and laundry and cleanup from the party.

And now it’s back to work! Have a great week!
