Thursday, August 3, 2017
Woke at my usual 5:00 AM this morning only to find the coffee machine full of hot water.  I'd apparently fallen asleep watching T.V. yesterday evening, groggily woke up around 9:00 PM and then shambled into the kitchen to prepare my coffee for the AM.  I remembered everything (even the filter) and simply neglected the coffee.  Dang. lol

Thursday's are my early days but I'm going to challenge myself and post 20+ times in the month of August.  I've had this blog going for 9 months now!!  It's a "baby" of sorts, you could say.

Physically I'm feeling good and have fully recovered from my wonderful, if not completely unhealthy, vacation.  I'm proud of how I've controlled my diet and my natural urge to eat junk food (like Dolly Parton says, "I'm a junk food kind of person at heart".  

 I'll hit my mat for at least 20-30 minutes this morning for a light practice.

Thursday, August 3, 2017 (Part II)
Felt great after hitting my mat this morning.  Meditation & prayer were first, followed by my standard warm-up.  I went through Vinyasa A and then into my forward bend series to close out with Marichyasana C and bridge pose (just one).

Feeling energized and proud and ready to take on the day.

Namaste

Good Enough

Thursday, December 19, 2024 Feelings and emotions (in general) are things that I advise anyone to be aware of, but to never let them control you (a feeling isn't real and an emotion isn't real either, despite what Pixar and Inside Out, etc. all have to say to us about emotions).   The emotion/feeling of being "good enough" can work for us and against us (some days we feel more than good enough and some days we don't); whether "good enough" is working for us or against us, it should still be observed, but never focused on much.  I woke up not feeling "very good" and or "good enough" and or blah blah blah...... I am happy that I'm on my mat, and beginning my practice as I know I will feel better afterwards.  Time to begin... Part II: As always, I write the initial post before my practice, and I write the Part II immediately after I've concluded my practice.   My perspective and outlook has changed so much from a few hours ago.  ...

Monday Yoga

Monday, July 24, 2023, After an enjoyable and yoga-less week and weekend, I'm back on my mat. We'll see what today's practice brings.  It's 5:20am, and it's time to begin... Part II: As always, the first update is before I practice, and Part II is written immediately after my practice is complete; usually about ~2 hours later.  I was stiff.  I was sore.  I was unfocused.  I was bloated. No matter how "uninspired" a practice can be, it always refines you into a better version of yourself.  For that, I'm grateful.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste

Tuesday Yoga

Tuesday, April 30, 2019 Last day of April 2019. I woke at my usual 4:30AM this morning and had my hour of coffee and contemplation. Physically, I'm feeling good.  Slightly sore and stiff, but feeling overall well. Mentally, I'm feeling fairly well controlled, but I can sense my brain flitting from one thought to the next.  I'm going to focus on controlling my thoughts this morning, and add an extra "omph" to my physical practice to help sweat out any over-active tendencies. Spiritually, I'm feeling well.  I'm secure, solid, and whole.  Time to sweat it out.
