I am not perfect, and I never will be. That's quite alright with me! Making progress in some form or another is what motivates me. After breakfast this morning, I decided to do another episode of Shanti Generation Yoga on my happy new yoga mat, which has GREAT gripping qualities by the way. Today's Netflix episode was #1, "Creating Happiness", and went through a number of poses, some of which were
- Warrior poses 1 &2
- Child's pose (my favorite relaxed pose)
- Downward facing dog pose (my favorite active pose)
- Mountain pose
- Eagle pose
- Boat pose
- Butterfly pose
- Tree pose... and more!
The tree pose has always been a challenge for me because you are balancing all 200-something pounds of yourself on a dinky twig of a foot. (And I've got a lotta trunk as you can see in the picture!) Today I accomplished a NSV (non-scale victory) because I was able to do the tree pose on both sides (left foot and right foot) without faltering, falling, or holding on to anything. I had my roots centered and planted in the earth. :-) :-) :-) This reminded me that my future, my ability to balance the parts of my life, and my ability to change myself all rests on me.

We are both posting about trees today although very different types of course. My balance is very poor. It's why I sent you the Wii which also might be helpful if you choose to use it.
Love you!
True--that's a funny coincidence. Saw the pictures on your FB of the removal. Looks like a lot of hard work. Poor tree. I am probably going to reconnect my Wii in the next couple of wiiks (haha).
Wii ch is good
