Yesterday I was thankful for the community of my yoga class. We were off last week, so yesterday was the first chance I had to tell my friends there that I got laid off. They were all sympathetic, and they all offered hope for better things in the future.

Today I'm thankful to be part of such a great yoga class. Our class is mostly returning students, but today was the first day of a new session and we had one new person. She rode her bike to class and brought it in to sit at the edge of the room. In the middle of class, one of her tires popped with a giant whoosh of air. When class was over, ( Read more... )

I started this post early this morning, before I even went to work. Today was a busy - and constantly busy - day, and I loved having this post to come back to at lunch and this evening. So although this is a post of three things that are making me happy, the post itself is a bonus fourth.

Today I'm thankful for yoga. I was a little keyed up when I got to class this evening, but I came out of it relaxed. As much as it's a good thing to have new/more people in our class, I really like those sessions where it's all people who've been taking it for a while and our teacher does less explaining of each pose. It's very relaxing.

I've been thinking recently that I need some inspiration. This isn't even about writing. This is about my inner self, my spirit, which just feels empty - and not in the good way where it's making space for the universe to come in and make itself at home, but the bad way where I feel drained. For anyone else who needs some inspiration, here are ( Read more... )

If you need a refresher, I did make a 2009 Projects post. I've stuck the projects I added as time went on where they seem to logically fit.

Dewey Decimal ProjectI did continue this, mostly. I did not read anything in October, much less a nonfiction book, but I did well with this project the rest of the year (in November and December, the ( Read more... )

Dewey Decimal Project
As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to continue my Dewey Decimal Project. If you've read any good nonfiction, feel free to tell me about it. I may or may not ever read it, but I'd certainly be interested in hearing about it! I'll also continue to post about the nonfiction I'm reading. It helps keep me on task, and I hope it's ( Read more... )

Today, I'm thankful for my yoga teacher. She's the only person teaching her style in the whole Northern part of California (the next closest is in Sacramento). There are a whole bunch of different styles of yoga, and I'm glad this is the one I experienced first. Yoga has been such a force for good in my life, and I don't know that I would have ( Read more... )

This is something of a follow-up to The law of unintended consequences, bra shopping, and the big fat revolution. (A Personal-Political Entry), although you don't need to read that for this to make sense.
