Reflection

I've been working on stuff for my Restorative Yoga Day tomorrow. It dawned on me that I haven't held a full day one since January of last year. Did 2 minis but I don't know what went on last year that made me unable to do this.... Think I was doing a lot of reflection, re-organizing, figuring out what to leave in and what to leave out. Last night Sheree & I were getting ready to leave after yoga and I was gathering my stuff for the yoga day and she was gathering her stuff to do a mandala workshop and we both paused and shared a moment of sadness for what might have been... but alas, things change. And it really is for the good of all but it would have been nice for things to be different.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love working on gifts and planning a retreat day and thinking of wonderful ways for people to relax and find their spirits and enjoy themselves? I love it almost as much as I love yoga so you can imagine I'm way over the top right now. The cool thing is that usually I do these events in other places so I have to carry a whole bunch of stuff and move a whole lot of furniture and am limited to what the rules and limitations of the places I do this at. It's wild because I keep thinking I have to pack stuff up and I realize I don't have to... and when I think of preparing food and storing it, the possibilities are endless cause it's all right here! So there can be many, many more choices... and I don't have to boil the water, put it in a carafe and carry it in my car without spilling it on me... I can make fresh tea. Right on the spot. How cool is that?

It's going to be a beautiful day. And hopefully, the start of a more regular schedule.... so it's not just once a year.

My cup runneth over.

And now I have towels to clean it up. Right here at my fingertips... I can't get over what a relaxing feeling this is.

It was a wonderful day. I enjoyed every moment of it. It is difficult to set life aside and really do nothing. Thanks for guiding my no-thingness in such a restorative way.
