Today My Name Is...Okay

Restorative Yoga is amazing. We planned it for Friday but as we sat there at 5:15am yawning and all saying how we had to seriously push ourselves to move today so we opted for restorative today. We will push through an excellent session to take us into the weekend tomorrow.

I get so relaxed during restorative. I guess it's key to be able to fully relax to get the most out of restorative yoga. These long poses and stretches feel so good, this could become an addiction that my husband would be ok with and that I would be happy to commit to for life. We did a new stretch for the arms which worked more on the shoulders. I was told to respect my shoulder, listen to it and not push myself in this pose. I listened. It hurt but felt good. I can really see my left side compensating for my injured right side and how little I can move my right arm in some poses. I am focused on the future and working up to a point where I can move my right equal to the left. That is my goal.

It's Thursday and while I woke up not wanting to do anything and had to convince myself to get my ass up I decided I would have a positive day. I got more laundry in, did some quick clean up around the house, enjoyed breakfast and a cup of coffee and made my spring cleaning list and to do list for today as well as started a grocery list. I told you I like lists.

Today I turned my daily focus into organization, removing items off of my to do list so I could feel ahead of the game once again and center on spirituality. The plan is to get stuff done and read. I felt like yesterday I got another message from the universe and there's something I am supposed to know. I feel strength, determination and will power.

We won't be heading to the Hat this weekend. Instead we will stay back and get some much needed stuff done around here and prepare for the following weekend. Lacrosse and my youngest daughter's costume make-up sessions on the weekend in prep for the school play will keep us busy. I didn't get much done last weekend so I will gain ground.

After horseback riding lessons tonight for my youngest we were offered a 1/4 lease on the horse she is riding. He's amazing for a 6 year old. So very well trained, beautiful to watch. The 1/4 lease wouldn't differ monthly cost by much and she would gain 4 extra rides on top of her 4 lessons totaling 8 rides/month. As spring is here and we promised her that come this time we would increase the lessons and rides for the benefit of skill improvement and overall development this might be the perfect time. I wonder how insane we will be between lacrosse with our oldest playing for 2 teams and 8 rides/month plus dance. Could be interesting. I've asked if we could possibly try a lease next month to see how it works for us. Fingers crossed.

My head is scattered with so many thoughts and directions focus on this update is a struggle. Hopefully tomorrow my mind is a bit more clear.

I love this song, I love Chris Cornell. Not sure if I spelled his name correct but what a babe. This song has made me think of my grandmother a lot over the last few days, connecting with the fact that as she is no longer here in the physical she will be along for all of our journey's in one form or another be it the sun, wind, road or whatever it might be. It's a beautiful way to think of our loved ones remaining with us as we continue our journey in life.

Today My Name Is...Okay....because I'm going to be just that. I just need time.
