Water is Life 🦅

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth.

This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”

Lao Tzu

I love both the quote and the glorious photo Tracy chose to illustrate it.

I’m having a free day today. I have my laundry drying out on the balcony, have changed the sheets on my bed and gathered trash to get ready for my housekeeper tomorrow. I’m doing exercises for my arms and back with water bottles today, plus walking down the stairs in the building. Not sure about ‘up’ yet. Isn’t it wonderful that I have a choice? 😋
