Yoga...

Yesterday I resumed my Yoga practice. It was very hard getting back into the "swing of things" when I haven't practiced in over a month. Luckily for me, I was accompanied by a friend who anticipated this class just as much (if not more) than I did.

Starting out was rough. I'm in the downward facing dog position trying to focus my mind and my arms start buckling...but I press on - telling myself that I can do it.

Midway through the work out (screw anyone who says Yoga is not a Workout) and I'm feeling good, My mind is clear, my thoughts are few (with the exception of sandy white beaches and the smell of coconuts) and I'm at peace. No more worry about the bills, the biz,weather or not my kids are bathed...nothing.

On the way back My friend and I had a wonderful conversation. It's funny how you never realize just how much you are alike - even though you're so different. Yes we may have different background, different goals, but there is always a common bond in Christ.

Friend - Thank you for coming out with me... thank you for being honest and thank you for sharing

Awww.. That was so sweet. I had a great time with you at yoga and I am looking forward to next thursday. I have been in the house trying to do little stuff that I remembered so it would not be so hard next time, but I already know it wont be easy. However, I am still anticipating next thursday.
