Two weeks into yoga

More or less, I have recovered, but I want my flexibility to improve. I have been attending an adaptive (hatha) yoga class, primarily with a group of people I know from an aquatic exercise class.

I like it. My youngest sister, who is also a yoga instructor, is tickled pink.



learn Tai Chi
A philosophical context

I have always been interested in the Chinese martial arts, but specifically Tai Chi, because I consider myself a philsophical Taoist and would like to add the discipline to my understanding of the Tao.

It hasn’t been easy going because I’ve mostly learned through books and video instruction—I haven’t been able to hold on to the few resources here.



Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 73 entries…)
Gratitude in the face of adversity

I have neglected this far too long, although it has been difficult in the wake of bitter personal tragedy and adversity.

But I am grateful for:
1. Healthy children, who push me to be active, and bring joy to my life.
2. Twelve years of marriage, marked last 12/12/10.
3. Enough food to eat, despite days of scarcity at the end of the month
4. An opportunity to prepare to buy a house, to better provide space for my children
5. The Way of my Master.
