Rave! Katy trail

[JCShutout]

I took a much needed-sabbath from studying on Sunday morning, went with a friend for a 22-24 mile bike ride on the Katy trail. Started in Defiance, turned around in Nona (about halfway between Agusta and Dutzow). So beautiful. Took a detour in Klondike park and saw a beautiful lake and some bluffs, the trees with the different colored leaves and the orange and tan farmland... gorgeous.

I was so jazzed up the rest of the day that when I lectored at Mass, people came up to me afterwards with compliments. Then I was able to make very concentrated and undistrated headway on my studies until about midnight, when I went to bed. I'm still on a high, and feel so focused and relaxed. Apparantly, when I'm frustrated, I need to do that, because I've been much more productive since that ride.

++ Glad you could get out and do that.

Working out is one of the best stress reducers, I believe...... observing the great outdoors is probably pretty high on the list as well. And, it's a lot easier for the mind to work when the body is right/happy.
