Thankful for Remembering to Relax, Hanging Out with Mom, & an Icelandic Moment in Yoga

Day 2,932

Growth:

Pause and recharge and be okay with relaxing. Sometimes I beat myself up for not being productive or for “doing” something. This evening I took some time to chill out and do some Sudoku and it felt wonderful! Let my brain chill while working on something I’m doing just for fun rather than for work.

Appreciation:

Mom came down to hang out and watch Gavin’s soccer game today and we had a blast! During the game we shot the bull about nothing important, had some time together watching our spaz of a pup go nuts in the living room, got more time together over dinner, and then enjoyed some of her homemade apple crisp back at home. I really grateful for having the time chilling with her today, it was great to catch up and talk about nothing in particular. Just spending time together was awesome and appreciated!

Presence:

Ahh… yoga! This morning what really stuck out to me was the moment right before final rest when our instructor opened the windows to allow a cool breeze to blow in after we’d all gotten crazy hot and sweaty during the practice. The sensation of the cool breeze blowing across my sweat damp skin reminded me of the hike Gavin, Steve, & I had in Iceland when we hiked up to the overlook of the waterfall. As I lay on my back in the hot yoga room I was back in those precious moments atop the hill overlooking the multiple layers of the waterfall; So peaceful!

Thanks!!!
