February 18
February has been a month of loss, change, hope and gratitude and of course, love.
Loss, at this point in my life it seems there is always loss. Friends have passed this month, they will be missed. One, I had not seen in awhile, one the beloved partner of a dear friend and one, an icon in the community. Tears flowed, I understand loss and the pain of trying to move forward and the incredible hole that will never be filled, when someone you love passes.
Change, in January I realized that I had to change, to step outside my comfort zone or just wither up and die. So with a great deal of hope, I started teaching my Monday night community yoga class again. I say this with a heart full of gratitude, it has been life changing for me. It is at a new venue, the Aldersgate Methodist Church in Dora and all I can say is, it has been a class filled with love. Most of my previous students returned and new ones came from the church. And sadly, a few have passed on.
More change, I started an online class from NYU. I must be crazy, it is challenging and scary but I am learning so much. The class is, Engineering Health through Yoga and Physiology. Wow...you can teach an old dog a few new tricks.
My next quest for 2023, to perform and write music again. Believe it or not, that is the scariest of all.
I missed Rick so much on Valentine's Day. I missed him not because it was ever such a big deal for us, but because that day is so symbolic of love. I am eternally grateful for the love we shared all those many years. I always painted Rick a Valentine, I guess I always will.
