Hey! You are welcome! I know i sure benefit a lot from those simple yoga moves and so easy to incorporate into a morning routine!

[jerrytsuseer]

ha ha ha... that is only true if you have a morning routine @porters.
My current morning routine is;
1.roll over and turn off the alarm clock I set the night before, hoping I would get to sleep at a reasonable time.

1. not having achieved that sleep at a reasonable time, I turn it off before it goes off (I'm always done that, I can't stand being JARRED out of sleep) roll over and sleep for another 2 hrs, then that brings me to
2. 9 am, most of the morning is shot, if I get coffee, then it is almost 10 by the time I finish clearing/answering emails, clearing/answering comments/replies in the Hive, by which time it is NOON before I get up and step away from the computer.

I AM hoping to change that routine soon though. When the pool was open, I would go take a swim, which is an excellent way to start the day, but thanks to Covid, the pools were all closed.
Some of them are opening again now.

Ha! You have a point there!
I would love to start my day with a swim!
We use to end our day with a swim in the lake at the end of our road but they built up a cross road which cut off the water feed to the lake and now it is dying - no more swimming there!
Is the pool by you opening?

The small pool here in my apartment complex IS finally open, sort of.
It is always closed on Monday for maintenance.
You can use it only when the office is open (10-5:30)Tue, Thu and Fri.
All this is mainly because of the pandemic.
Now the larger SENIOR recreation center is about 1.5 mi from here, but I don't think it will open until the beginning of Jul.
