A full moon is on its way, but I doubt if we see it. Pouring rain tonight, snow, sleet, icy rain, some sort of frozen stuff tomorrow, Rick is home, safe and sound and the dogs are already asleep.
I think the changing weather is playing havoc with my body tonight, everything is stiff and painful.
Classes were moon salutations today, greeting the moon, whether we see its beauty or not.
Those flannel sheets are calling my name and I can't resist. This body is demanding some rest.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams

Ordinary Hump
A nice hump day,rainy but that is ok, I did all my errands. I am so excited, the weather guys here are teasing us with the S word. I know my friends and family to the north and east of me are not excited, but a few flakes here are so rare I can barely contain my excitement.
The dogs keep barking like crazy tonight. There is a raccoon that has knocked the suet feeder down on the ground and is having a feast. Taz wants to go outside and make him dance. Calliou just encourages Taz to bark.
I hope your day has been as ordinary as mine. We need these days, these ordinary days. These days are the glue that holds us together when things get crazy good or crazy or bad. Time for my cup of tea.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams

My Dogs Won't Answer
A full class this afternoon, several new faces. A couple let me know immediately that they were not in yoga because they wanted to be there, their counselors had "urged" them to come.
I am not a fan of someone being sent to yoga, but I understand our program and the thought process behind it. I also know that 99 times out of 100, those made to come tell me after their first class how much they loved it and they can't wait to come back.
That's my goal for every class I teach, make the class so enjoyable the students can't wait to come back. I will let you in on a little secret, it's hard work you know. It requires incredible energy.
But the rewards are worth it.
After yoga today I also taught a meditation class. As I was leaving the building tonight I looked up and saw an almost full moon surrounded by twinkling stars. The air was so cold it took my breath.
I drove home, knowing that the house would be empty tonight, except for the dogs. Rick is in New Orleans for a couple of days at a conference. I love the dogs, but they don't answer me back when I talk to them. :)
Time for a cup of hot tea.

3 C's
"The 3 C's in life...choice, chance, change
You must make the choice to take the chance if you want anything in life to change." - Tommy Chong
I wrote this on my board in class today. Lots of comments by my students, this one resonated with all of them.
It resonated with me as well. Choice, chance, change will be my motto for a while.

Weekend R and R
As we made our first steps toward the water, I felt the salt air burn my lungs...the breeze was cold and the sun was dazzling.
It is important to recharge, to rest and refresh. Walks, naps and seafood, all of those were exactly what we needed.
Ready to face tomorrow, rested and renewed.

Celebrate
A half moon tonight, making Rick's birthday extra special. Next Friday will be my brother Ricky's birthday and the moon will be full. Both the Ricks got some luna magic this year.
Jordan's birthday is on the 29. Those three guys, every seven days, a birthday.
Jordan and I are making plans for a family celebration of birthdays. He has chosen a menu of chili, hot dogs and spaghetti. Perfect menu for guys right? Except that we will include Breeze whose birthday was the 11th, but she is a swimmer and burns carbs and calories like crazy, and she loved the menu too. If the weather permits, smores for dessert.
Birthdays are meant to be celebrated, so eat what you want. Sleep late, get up early, spend the day in jammies, or get all dressed up. It is your day. It is all about you. Once a year, let the world know they are lucky you were born. Twenty four hours just for you.
So Rick has had a nice dinner, cheesecake, a little wine and is now in his Alabama pj's ( he wore them watching the championship game, so now they are his lucky pj's) I think his 24 hours has been interesting, fun, all that he expected and maybe more. Happy Birthday Rick! I love celebrating your birthday.
