THURSDAY! Holla at ya girl!

VDay Rehearsals started yesterday. The performance is April 3rd; so, plenty of time to perfect my monologue, or at best speak without stumbling.

I am amazed that today is Thursday. Some weeks just stumble (tumble) along and then it is the weekend. Other weeks seem lengthy and tiresome and then there are weeks where it is evident you've worked and been struggled or been pushed but in the end it is a good week. Also good to note this week, the CSA pickups are now on Thursday nights which is quite fabulous.

Gratitude

Thanks to Peyton Fisher for an amazing basics workshop on Sunday. I left totally blissed out and got my happy back. Sounds silly and simple, but sometimes the truth truly is just like that, I got my happy back in that room on my lovely purple mat. I got my happy back while sweating with strangers who instantly became dear friends. I got my happy back when I took the mask off, let go of the pressure and allowed "me" to show up. The spark that was missing in me was ignited and I can feel a new heat within myself. I didn't effortlessly fall into any one pose or perfect my ujjayi breathing; but I did have the moment, the quiet peace of knowing that all I need and will ever need is within me and I am where I am, now. Namaste

TGIF! Yoga weekend in T minus 3 hours

Random Fact

Right up there with:
"are we out of bananas"
"I need a juice"
"gosh, I really need to work on my down dog"
"why don't I have white tees"
"man, I need to register Bai for gym"
"did bash order the wiper part"
"did I kiss K before I left, like right before or just before I went to the kitchen"

Are:
"wonder how long it will take me to effortlessly push from pincha to handstand"
"are there new updates on Netflix"
"I need to get with dad on GKT"

And:
"sitting on a beach, staring at the sea and listening to the rush and whoo of the water and feeling the wisp of the sand brushing my legs, pushing my hair back and feeling salt and sand and the immense texture that is created I can feel my heart smiling, my entire being relaxing as I sit back and allow the universe to envelop me with a hug that I cannot deny is much needed"

Blah...just give me some more Emergen-C

Oh, but wait...there are no boxes at the store. I am grateful that after 3 attempts, I found some Emergen-C at Rite-Aid, my last stop before home last night. About to down some more of those powerful little packets now with hopes of annihilating this bug in me. Perhaps the prescription I need at this very moment is a week on a quiet beach in a home with a lovely deck for lounging and soaking up salty air and sunshine.

Small things...

Friday I came home from work and was a little surprised to see one toothbrush. I am not sure what I expected. I knew K was leaving for the night/weekend and of course that means packing the toothbrush, but the sight of my lone brush startled me. This happened at Thanksgiving and I brushed it off as me: overreacting, too sensitive, neurotic,etc. But truth is, I just am growing accustom to there being two brushes and I like it better that way. It's the small things that make life worth it.
