| Lake Padden this morning |
The clouds cleared a little, and the lake was as still as glass, as you can see in this picture, giving a wonderful reflection of the golden leaves on the far shore. Because of all our recent rain, the grass is green and lush, too. This is the time of year when the golden leaves look translucent, as if the light might be emanating from within. The dark trunks, saturated with moisture, add to the illusion.
I had a rather strenuous yoga class yesterday, which is when I began to realize that my right hip was in a bit of distress from Thursday's hike. Last night I wondered if it would be prudent to stay home and rest, but by the time I'd made one lap of the lake this morning, all the pain was gone. I'm convinced that working through pain can be beneficial, at least sometimes. The trick is deciding when. Today I made the right decision and am feeling happy and rather pleased with myself.

I am so glad that you were able to work through/walk through the pain. It is always a difficult conundrum, and I often fail.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of your week is also beauty filled.
A moody shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! We had rain here all morning but it let up during the Sounders match this afternoon. Now it's wonderfully calm.
ReplyDeleteSo you're fortunate all the way around. No rain. No hip pain. Isn't life grand.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that this time, working through was just the right thing to do. I have found that most often that is the case but sometimes not. Glad you were able to fix yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting in that photo, Jan. Worth the effort to be there for sure.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteGlad the hip was okay and it didn't rain. :)
I have had hip problems after sitting...then pain is there when I get up. By walking it goes away. You did good.
ReplyDeleteEasy does it. Glad your hip doesn't bother you that much anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice photo!
ReplyDeleteI have found this true too. My back was hurting a little, but after slowly getting into the zumba routine, it sort of stretched itself out and felt more fluid.
