Day 61 - My 365, How do you measure a year?

Day 61:
Thursday, December 15, 2011

I don't know if it is because I'm lazy or not but today is another Pacey picture.  You give him a box and he is ALL about it.  



I went to yoga tonight after work.  Hopefully I can start going more often now (ahh, the slow down).  I had tried a different studio on Sunday (a room temperature studio) but tonight it was back to the hot yoga studio (funk yeah!).  When I first started hot yoga, I wasn't sure if I would like it.  Now, it doesn't seem to feel right if the room isn't at least 95 degrees.  What a progression!  Actually, I feel like my threshold for hot has changed in all my life (time to crank the water heater up!).

Who would have thought hot yoga could be so liberating?

Tonight was a good class even though it wasn't my favorite teacher.   She kept talking about being fully present in the moment (ironic of course, since that is kind of my theme right now).  She talked about how 'the now' is all we have.  Accept your reality, she said.  Be there.  Be in the moment, whether it is busy or still.  Be there and accept it.  Know how it makes your body and mind and heart feel.

If you really accept your reality, only then can you really be in the moment.  Ahhhhhhhh.  It so often comes back to acceptance.  Maybe this is a valid point.  If you accept your reality for what it is, and really own it, then why would you need to be anywhere else?  Besides you'll get there eventually... as it turns out, contemplation leads to action.  Contemplate your moment, accept it, and then follow your desire to act.  Who knows where it will lead?
