Drink

Tart cherry juice, four ounces, over sparkling water. The carbonation makes it feel like something you ordered somewhere. The cherry does the rest.

Move

Thoracic rotation in a chair. Sit tall, cross your arms over your chest, rotate left and right from your mid-back, not your lower back. Ten each direction. Your spine will decompress in a way that is almost audible.

Small Joy

A May morning still cool enough for a jacket. Warm in the sun, cold in the shade. That window does not last long.
