5 Sun Salutations and it's on!

Woke up this morning in a funk--feeling introspective and upset  disappointed with my inability to manage my expectations on some things.  Anyway, I spent the whole morning in a fog.  Got up later than I wanted to--9 a.m. and basically headed straight for the library...without so much as a short run or an asana.  


...to make a short-story-that-I-was-going-to-make-long short (LOL)...after toiling in the library for about an hour, I decided to find a quiet corner and practice some yoga.  Five sun salutations, a balance series and a warrior series later, THE FUNK IS GONE!   note to self: NEVER SKIP YOGA IN THE A.M. AGAIN.


Count Down to J.D.: T minus 5 days!!!

UPDATE: Just saw this message on greatday.com and wanted to share.  It's definitely helping me to keep things in perspective today.  Enjoy:




Happiness is your choice


Don't let your happiness be held hostage. It is always yours to choose, to live, to experience.

You don't need anyone else's permission to be happy. Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such.
If you're unhappy, that's not someone else's fault. Take full responsibility for your own unhappiness, and you instantly gain the ability to create your own happiness.
Every day, you fulfill your most sincere expectations. Expect to be happy, and just like that, you are.
Stop seeking in vain to arrange circumstances that will make you happy. Simply choose to be happy, and your circumstances start to line up around that happiness.
Your happiness is your choice. Choose it any time you wish.
-- Ralph Marston
