#5 Valentine's Day

Today was Valentine's Day.
Our thoughtful department head gave chocolates to everyone in the department -- everyone except me. Because I have diabetes and shouldn't eat chocolate, she gave me cheese instead. It was a wonderful slice of Jarlsburg cheese, which I love.
In yoga class we worked on positions that, the teacher said, opened the heart. The fish pose, in particular, was very powerful. I am glad I meditated in the morning and did yoga in the afternoon. In the evening, I finished grading everything form my journalism class. It will feel good to return everything to the students tomorrow.
