A few weeks ago when we were going round in a circle, expressing what we are grateful for, one of the organic farmers here said "a strong body. I know I'm not always going to have it." Shuttling people around in the golf cart, I realise that every day we are able to dance, walk and move freely in our bodies is a delicious gift. One lady here, who uses a walking device was once a champion tennis player. Another gentleman, who walks with a stick with great difficulty told me he used to walk 5 miles every day. With this thought in mind, I've already done an early morning walk around the lake and am going to walk now into Falls Village and do some yoga before my shift starts at 1pm.
It was my day off yesterday. Went art gallery hopping in Great Barrington (a town about 30 mins away). The lady who drove me there is a professional artist, so it was interesting to hear her critique of what we saw!! Last night, we had a Hawaiian party for the staff which was lots of fun (despite the fact it rained like crazy!) The 21-year-old who put it together pulled out all the stops - hay on the floor - multi-coloured pineapple decor, bubbles to blow, sparklers, punch, tropical fruit to eat on skewers, a hammock and free fun gifts for everyone. I told her she has a future ahead of her (if she wishes!) as an events organiser.
