\"\"<\/a>At the end of my morning excercise\u00a0routine\u00a0I heard a little voice inside\u00a0me say, “That was easy.” Smiling I realised, it was! Being on a budget\u00a0currently\u00a0prohibits my membership at the\u00a0local Y. I miss swimming, the meditative\u00a0 and repetitive\u00a0laps, wetness\u00a0of the water enveloping\u00a0my whole body, silence when I dive like a whale, hold my breath\u00a0and swim very deep. What I have instead is “Mama’s Budget Stair Master and Weights.”<\/p>\n

I\u00a0live in a two-story house and being a\u00a0creative-minded\u00a0soul\u00a0I devised\u00a0a workout of going\u00a0up and\u00a0down the stairs and on each floor lifting\u00a0hand weights\u00a0as I traverse that level. I set the kitchen timer\u00a0on the stove, crank up the volume on my library books on CD, and set off. It really is easy. This routine tucks nicely\u00a0into my available\u00a0time before work and it is right on budget.<\/p>\n

Years ago in art school\u00a0a professor commented\u00a0that\u00a0my rough sketches held more emotion than my finished drawings. He was right.\u00a0The immediacy of my initial\u00a0concept conveyed more authenticity\u00a0then the ones I labored over. I’m reminded of his\u00a0wise words this morning. My excerise routine came to me in a flash of inspiration. I didn’t edit or belabor it. I didn’t try to make it better.<\/p>\n
