National Arboretum, Northeast DC, June 2nd
Know I have photos and stories, but it may be another week. Thinking of Home and seeking sweetness and nourishment to fuel myself for the continuing struggles.
This year I chose to make my Thanksgiving Day donation to Sanctuary DMV and the Latin American Youth Center.
I am soon heading to the metro to meet friends and go to a gathering. Because it will be appreciated, I baked without gluten, which I find more of a challenge.
A place to drink in the beauty. For information on how to help preserve the azalea collection (which is under siege from budget cuts), please visit: “Save the Azaleas.”
It is always a temptation for me to stay home when it is cold and dark, to miss yoga class (when I am student, not teacher), to do my own practice and read and cook and play with the cat, rather than to be more engaged with all that is outside — friends, group yoga, and all the offerings of the city. I am always happier, though, for having gone out. Home is much more pleasing after an interlude with the outside. And if I dress right, it is even enjoyable to walk out in the cold, dark, rain, and say hello to all the dog walkers.
