Happy

I was blindsided how happy I was this morning. Have I forgotten what happy is?

What caused this surge of positive emotion, you may ask?

A ‘normal’ activity

I got my body moving

to beats

with people

in community

Granted the activity was designed for seniors

but

I was participating without pain

something my body is intimately acquainted with

Also

I needed to manage my post concussive brain. It appreciated the modified pace.

Juggling the emotional labour of maintaining my physical body is wearying

Today I had an hour of freedom

in Zumba Gold.

Effervescent joy

illuminating spirit

lightness of being

Granville Island

Entrance to the market. Downtown condos visible in background.

Merchants, craftsmen, food

Tucked in center of city

Delights to explore.

Treated to myself to brunch. Ambled down Railspur Alley and savoured a B-T (smoked beets, avocado, spinach and tomato) with corn chowder.

Visited my favourite bakery, Terra Breads and bought a treat to take home. New item on offering! Cranberry tart. Yes, please. Took home, made a mug a tea. Bit into the tart and was not disappointed. Buttery crust topped with ginger infused berries. Yum!

All this prior to noon.

A pretty good start to a weekend morning.
