It is Tuesday.
I will go on a quick walk with a horse.
Yesterday I took more breaks from work while working remotely.
Being more physically active during the day instead of just sitting in front of my computer is helpful.
I worked on the garden some and put some spikes up to keep the cat from killing the humming birds.
I have a sense I am sick and I need to work on recovering.
As I worked in the garden hoeing up grass I had an impression that I was convalescing from a traumatic illness.
The illness of modern life, with the underlying cause of sitting all the time, is killing me. The irony I am experiencing is we moved to the cabin a year ago to pursue our values of ATM which includes pursuing fitness, but I am sitting and driving more instead of walking to work as I did when we lived in Seattle. The walk was 2.8 miles each direction, and I felt so much healthier when I did it. This change over the last year with the addition of driving more and walking less I believe is a fairly common experience and again it is killing me. It is fairly small change just to walk a little less but it is having an enormous effect on me. I need to find a way to fit in exercise in other ways.
The gravity of modern life appears to be planting us in front of a computer or behind the wheel of car and this is not in line with my values of ATM.
I will resist this influence and try to be more active and will hopefully find this activity with what we are trying to achieve here at Cascadia Heritage Farm.
I am thankful for this opportunity.
