Yoga

The Princess with some friends.

I started doing yoga three weeks ago. Some of the poses they do don’t work for me; maybe because I am a little too chubby, or maybe because I am not as flexible as I used to be or maybe because those people are freaks with their level of flexibility. Maybe after a few more weeks I will be able to master all of the poses.

I have already noticed some of the benefits, though. When you first wake up and start moving around, you know how you kind of wobble and stagger on those first couple of steps? That does not happen to me any more. The other benefit I noticed was better balance. No more hopping around on one leg while putting on my pants or socks! I guess I should just say I noticed an improvement in my balance.

Today I am rejoicing with some friends. Their husband/son/brother has been serving in Afghanistan for one year. They will get to see their husband/son/brother this afternoon. What a flood of emotions they will all experience today. I think there could be a flood in the room today when all of those soldiers coming home get to see their families. There will be a lot of tears of joy.
