Spring At Last
Well, the forsythia have come and gone, the tulips are just about finished (at least mine are) and the lilacs are in full bloom. Even though this winter wasn't a hard one, I'm relieved that spring is finally here.
My yard is full of rabbits right now -- you can hardly look out the window without seeing at least a couple running across the grass or just hanging out. I took this picture out by the driveway on Friday night when I got home from work -- that rabbit let me get within about ten feet of it, which is pretty close for most of these wild rabbits.
Yoga was good last night. We did two new poses, virasana (hero pose, which is harder than it looks -- it feels soooooo good when you stop) and padmasana (lotus pose, although of course we are just starting to get into this pose -- unless you are extremely flexible when you start yoga, it can take awhile for the body to agree to this). Also, for the first time last night, my feet didn't cramp up when we did triangle pose and the other standing poses. I like my class, especially the meditation exercises, which really seem to do me as much good as the physical exercises. I am fortunate to be a person who relaxes easily through guided meditation, so I usually leave the class feeling very loose and calm.
Otherwise, life is very busy at the moment. Marty is starting a degree program and is still working six days a week. He is hardly home in the evenings thanks to class, softball, the gym, and his volunteer work with Special Olympics. I have after-work activities and responsibilities as well. On the fun side, I'm getting ready for a trip to visit Maria next week, and I'm doing some personal writing. But I am also behind on a lot of things, some of them important, some important only to me. (One of the "important only to me" things is reading my favorite journals -- I am way behind on most of the sites I normally read daily.) Well, I am thinking that after June 1 things should calm down quite a lot.
I hope so, anyway.
