Hello Blendfriends, welcome to the Monday thread! Please feel welcome to read and to post here, we're always happy to chat.

I'll be at the office today and so will chime in at the end of my workday. It's another beautiful September day. The equinox will come tomorrow and with it, "solar autumn" as they say on the weather website. It's still my favorite late-summer time, so I'll be sure to stay in the present moment on my walks to and from work. It feels like a privilege I have, to have a short walk in the morning and evening and no "commute". Here's a thought from our friend Storm, about staying present to the moment:

"I walk with ever increasing mindfulness. I eat with ever increasing mindfulness. I meditate with ever increasing mindfulness. Whatever I am doing, I am fully present in this moment." (Storm K.)

I'm a little excited about Erica's new challenge -- having done posture workouts on repeat, I'm always thrilled to have a new one, and five in a challenge is a bonus! My body is being a bit cantankerous with the weights, so I'll have to read the write-ups.

I hope your workouts suit you and wish you all a great start to the week.
