436. Having the realization last night that keeping up with my gifts as often as I can is almost like taking a vitamin that protects me from or decreases the chances of depression. This has been an unexpected and hugely appreciated gift.
437. Thankful for the little arms that drape around my shoulders as I carry Emmy from our room back to her bed, every night several times a night as of late. She's been processing so much these past few weeks that we've been getting lots of late night visits. Just had visit #1 for tonight, 11:30pm.
438. Grateful that starting this blog has helped me accept myself for who I am. I do have the best of intentions. I do want to do the 21-day yoga challenge. I completed day 1 yesterday, but circumstances happened today that made yoga not happen.
But I did get to pick Lily up from school, get dinner, lunches for tomorrow and part of tomorrow's dinner ready. I did get to spend one-on-one time with the girls before bed. I did get to take Molly and myself out for a run in the night chill and talk with a really nice woman at the park. I then remembered that I had to run out and get two headlights for my car (I was down one, the other went out this morning!) I came back and made part of a birthday gift with Andy for tomorrow.
For all the things I did, yoga wasn't one of them. But I now know through this practice of giving thanks and launching starts, it's okay. Although I do have many starts, this process on the page has helped me be conscious of my desires and intentions, and I have seen improvement. So I pick up tomorrow where I left off. One day of yoga is better than none, right? It's all about looking at the Bright Side of the Road - couldn't help but think of this Van Morrison song that has been stuck in my head ever since it appeared there while I was taking a shower.
