38% of the way done with my class. It’s going pretty well and I feel like I’m learning a lot of things. Also a few things that I thought I knew and now I’m not so sure. For example I thought chaturanga was a series of moves to get from forward fold pose to downward dog, it isn’t, it is it single position that is like a low plank with the elbows bent in 90°.

Also, things that I take for granted I might have to explain, for example what does it mean to “engage your core”?

But the class is going well and I’m really enjoying it.

Tomorrow and Monday are holidays here. Happy Easter!

Oh yeah, PS: today is this blogs 20th anniversary. 17 April 2005, 17 April 2025!

When I moved into my first by myself apartment, I had very little furniture..

I had two beach chairs, a biggish piece of glass, a 13 inch black and white TV and my Heathkit Stereo.

I put the piece of glass on the floor between the two beach chairs, facing the stereo and TV, and called it the world’s lowest coffee table.

I also add a white plastic outdoor table as a dinner table and four of the white plastic chairs, and my bed.

I have a house full of stuff, and I’d like to get rid of about half of it. Our possessions on us, not the other way around.

Happy Hump Day!

Im ready to read a book because I want to read instead of a book assigned to me.

right now I’m reading”The Power Of Now“, by assignment.

Also I’m reading the material for my YTT..

I can’t remember the last fun book I read. I’d have to go back in the history of this blog to figure it out. I’m starting to worry about my Goodreads Reading Challenge too.

Oh well, this too shall pass.

Have a wonderful day!

I received notice that Daisy Dukes, formerly and presently called Empress, has been adopted. I’m very glad.

I hope she’s a good girl for her new.family and I hope they can handle her.

Happy Monday and have a great week!

Last night I made a pizza for dinner, I didn’t feel well all night until this morning. I did sleep well, and I’m tired. It was a damn good pizza though!

I’ve been trying to eat pretty good quality food, and I guess my system isn’t used to what it used to be used to.

bah humbug.

I’m glad it’s Friday.

Here’s some pictures of my cats

Have a great weekend!!!

Yoga Teacher Training. I was thinking I had aleady posted about how the course I am in now seems spectacular.

Originally I signed up for a class recommended that was a disaster . I exited that class and signed up for another course and am continuously awed by how organized and professional it is..

My goal is to be done with this 200 hour yoga teacher training by my birthday July 11th.

Have a great day!

I’ve been studying my Yoga Teacher Training course. I’m taking notes on my Kindle Scribe and reading the book on my old Kindle Paperwhite, which has been sitting unused since I got the Scribe.

I feel like I look like a crazy person, with two kindles, reading on one writing on the other. But overall, I think it’s pretty cool..

thank God it’s Wednesday! Have a great day!

I’ve been practicing Om meditation for 079 days in a row. I’m pretty settled in on 8 minutes.

I still have trouble quieting the “monkey mind”. I have good days and bad days, but I wonder what someone else would be experiencing after 1079 days.

I tell others that the most important thing about meditating is to make the time and do it consistently, which I do very well.

do you meditate? Do you feel that the monkey mind intrudes more or less than normal, or do you not worry about it at all? I wouldn’t say I’m “worried about” it, but it’s something that I wonder about. Sometimes it annoys me when the monkey mind won’t shut up, and I’m trying to make it.

I have a dental appointment today, it’s only April, and my insurance is already maxed out. So I’ll be grudgingly paying the full amount out of my pocket for a cleaning.

Have a great day!

It’s another Monday..I had a productive weekend. The apartment is almost ready to be rented again. I have to have the washing machine serviced.

it rained a teeny tiny bit here at the house, it rained a lot everywhere else. Hundred yards north the road was soaked. 100 yards south the road is soaked and full of puddles. Barely a sprinkle at the house though.

I had breakfast Sunday with my favorite yoga teacher. He thought beach yoga for the first time in a long time..

that’s about it, not much going on trying to study my yoga teacher training at the same time maintaining the house and animals and work.

Above is Goldie and Knip.

Have a great day and a fantastic week!

Explain this to me if you understand it.

Suppose you’re walking down the road, and all of a sudden, a snarling dog comes out of the bushes, trying to bite your ankles. You feel fear. Real.fear of physical injury in the here and now.

Supposed you’re laying in bed. You make a mistake on a report yesterday and you’re afraid you’re going to get in trouble at work tomorrow. No chance of physical injury, not immediate fear in the here and now.

What’s the difference?

Have a great weekend !
