My Ayurveda teacher Anne said that only people that aren't balanced are affected by the Full Moon. So I admit I'm a little unbalanced. I went out in the parking lot and watched the Moon rise above the clouds and take over the night sky. April's full moon is known as the "Full Pink Moon," after the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring.
During the daylight this closet Werewolf accomplished much. My Nissan dealer treated me to a free oil change and car wash because I'm such a loyal customer. They'll get it back in few months when I bring my truck in for it's 60,000 mile service but it's worth it.
After the car was lubed and oiled it was time to do the same to my heart, legs, lungs, mind and spirit as I headed to Freedom Park for a satisfying 7.5-mile run. Running 10 times around a 3/4 mile loop the view took in Sunrise Mountain, many local trees sprouting fresh spring leaves and the still snow-clad Mt. Charleston. Nevada, by the way, is Spanish for snow-clad mountains. The best part of the run was the first half was in 35 minutes and the last half in 30 as I picked up a little speed with each lap and amazed the loafers lounging around the park in fear of finding jobs.
After my run I checked my blood pressure and it was only 94/59. My pulse was 46 the other day. See what happens when you give up coffee and take up meditation.
The UPS man delivered 2 new digital cameras so new photos may return to this space as early as tomorrow.
