dictionary.com defines constitution as: "the aggregate of a person's physical and psychological characteristics." ("aggregate" means the combination or sum total)I watched "Emma" (or the latter part of it anyhow) with some ladies on Saturday night, and at the end of the movie, Mr. Knightley tells Emma he's willing to live at her Father's home after they are married so they can keep her fretful father happy, and they can be together.

We, the viewers, were pondering that fantastic word: constitution. It seems a bit out-dated in present vernacular. Too bad.
Too bad, because I'm about to use it: I have concluded that going to the beach by oneself is excellent for one's constitution.
Yesterday was gorgeous. Yesterday I also didn't have anything too pressing. So I took off for the beach in Poppy, with no music, a cell phone that I'd turned off, my bible, my notebook, and my camera.
I stopped along the coast and snapped this shot as the sun was setting, then found a fancy little bistro in Astoria that served a lot of vegan food, and I ate and journaled and read and tried to unpack Genesis 24. I decided there's a lot there.
I didn't get home until late, and didn't sleep until later, because I wanted to practice on my ghee-tar, because I always feel cool when I play on it, but I slept in until almost ELEVEN today, and now need to be productive. [Sidenote: this is why I really don't like sleeping in all that much. It messes up my whole day's timelines.]
What have you done lately that's been good for your constitution?
