Today started out dark, with howling winds, after much of the same yesterday. Because I’d been out to get my eyes checked, I hadn’t gotten in a full workday, so I made up for it by putting in 10 hours today, with a long break in the middle for my rowing workout. By evening, I didn’t feel motivated to do any blogging and had to push myself to sit down and write this post.

Even so, there’s something good in it. I am grateful to have a remote job and a comfortable house, where I don’t have to care how much the winds howl.

Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to encourage self-nurturing and to “give the planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.”
