On a Happier Note....
For you yoga people, I achieved a first this morning:
I DID THE TREE POSE!!!!!
Even when I started years ago, I could never hold this position for more than a second or two, even with my foot down by my ankle, let alone the knee. Today, I not only managed it on one side with the hands by the heart and opposite foot at the knee, but I also managed to get them over my head. The other side still needs a bit of work. I can only do it fully, at the ankle; the knee is for a short time and forget putting the hands out. I'm chalking it up to being tired. I've been having a real hard time with sleep the last few days.
Needless to say, I'm quite geeked about this. I will need to practice more to get it right on both sides. Strangely enough, the ankle that got operated on is the one I can do full out, even though it's not my dominant side.
