Exercise can have unexpected benefits

The forecast for this morning was not good. But when I woke for the second time this morning, the rain was not evident, so I got up and dressed and decided to take a chance. The sky was leaden, a rainbow hovered over South Perth, but I hit the road and headed off on a 12 km sojurn. My night had been broken due to pain in my left shoulder and shoulderblade. Unable to sleep anyway because of the pain, I had a tired start to the morning. But I needed to exercise so I went anyway. Close to the Crystal Swan on the Swan River and just before the turn off to the Kwinana Freeway and Stirling Hwy, the river curves.....and a herd of pelicans were enjoying some kind of feast. As I got closer I was amazed to see a pod of dolphins, and everywhere the dolphins went the pelicans followed - obviously enjoying the dolphins expertise in corraling their food supply.

The rain decided to start falling at that point - but you know what - some things are worth getting wet for.

Unfortunatley due to an accident, my normally go everywhere camera, was at home - i'm waiting for a replacement -  so you only have my word for the phenomena that was this morning. But as I carried on with my walk I was blessed when Mamma and baby decided to swim close to where I was standing. What can I say - dolphins in the wild, doing what they do best...absolutely blessed.

At the end of the walk, there is a children's playground - complete with fireman's pole, so was able to test the back and the right wrist - and did some serious stretching...well I go back to classes on wednesday - so wanted to make sure I was going to get through the class without further injury.

There are some days I feel blessed - and others more so...today I just wanted to share it with you
