Strength

My body is sore from a week of physical activity -- days on the reformer, hiking and trail running, and two days of intense yoga classes. It feels good to feel my muscles get stronger, but I do feel spent. Glad to relax with lots of reading material by my side. I yearn to age gracefully, not giving into atrophying muscles or inflexibility. I yearn to have stamina, strength and kindness towards my aching body. Would like to unwind tonight with a Thai massage, or bath of Epsom's salts before savoring every second of Girls and Mad Men.
