Day 783: Hills and valleys.

journal spread

Up from a self-imposed nap, as opposed to my "auto-naps".

I did my swimming routine at 10 AM and ... 

day class workout at 12:30.

I don't usually do both on the same day. 

But, WonderWoman calls it a double whammy, 

good for the metabolism.

She might not have meant on such a hot day.

Yesterday was Demura Sensei's birthday,

so I was a day late with my little gift and card.

Birthday card for Demura Sensei 2014

My gifts were tiny. What do you get for such a man?

He opened the card above and smiled.

He remembered that day he said.

Oh the memories that man must have.

Known for his humor,

I remember him saying once ...

that life was hills and valleys.

He gestured his hands in a 

wave-like motion.

Now that I have lived many years, 

I agree, but onetime asked

if there might not be some tunnels

under some of those valleys?
