Rainy Day Yoga
30/11/07 08:52
I woke up this morning to the sound of rain. The dogs
wanted to go for a walk in the rain......so off we
went! We picked up a neighbor's latch-key puppy on
the day and brought him home to dry by the fire. My
husband and I sit by the fire and make tea and eggs
on the old cook stove. He has just picked up the
guitar so the music in the background is lovely. Our
plan for the day is to hang out together, do our yoga
practices by the fire and maybe some reading. I
realize how fortunate I am to have this life!
Although I work very hard most days, I also take 1-2
days a week to "just be"- quietly with my family. I
realized recently how important it is for me to slow
down and take time to enjoy life. Our dear chanting
teaching from India, Jayanthi, unexpectedly died at
age 35 from complications associated with Lupus this
week. There is only this moment in time. I am going
to spend the day connecting with family and loved
ones.
