I've decided to try something a bit different today - rather than focusing on the things that are bugging me a bit, I'm going to focus on the things that are delighting me today - and ask my friends to share the same ( Read more... )

and remarkably so, given the earliness of the hour. Guess giving myself a full three days to do Nothing Productive has been, in fact, rejuvanating. Taking note of this and starting the day with some yoga.

I *just* registered for the July session with Shiva Rea at Kripalu. There is joy. Serious, crazy fucking joy.
