my life as related to my feelings about yoga

In yoga it drove me crazy when I could not do a position. I would look around and everyone else would be doing the position perfectly. I was struggling. I could not accept that this was the best I would do for that day and move on with my class. I had to be perfect. I compared myself to others.

In my life, I'm always comparing. I cannot accept that some days I will do great and others are just not my day. I want every day to be my day. I want to be the best at everything I do. The hardest thing for me in yoga was that my instructor stressed being cool with where you were for the day. We have our good and not so good days, and wherever you are is fine. That is how I wish I was able to be in life, but I'm not there yet.

GO BLUE

Go Blue! I am so sad that we lost to OSU. I really hate OSU. We did not play a good game against them, and it was a sad loss. I know it's selfish, but what I was really thinking when we loss was, "oh great, now I get to go to work and face R"........ R, a guy I cannot stand, works with me and is a jerk. It should not surprise anyone that this jerk happens to be from Ohio. He was consistently making comments to me about OSU, and I was denying it, but now he can rub it in. Gr... I don't want to see him on MONDAY!

At least, I will be home on wednesday and have another break from work. I really need it :)

Anyway, dave and I had a michigan football party and it was a ton of fun as well as a ton of work. We bought tons of food, basically any type of breakfast food or breakfast drink you could think of , with the exception of eggs and of course nasty ass bacon. And, we have great friends who also brought tons of food to our place. It was really nice to have everyone over here to celebrate. Plus, stef and joel's dog, ann arbor, is absolutely adorable!! She was also pretty well behaved! After the party dave and I were so exhausted, we are becoming antisocial, I think, but this time we had an excuse, a legitimate one, we had woken up at 6 am and worked on our apartment. We were just way too tired and hung over. Oh well, all's fair in love and michigan football. I will always be true to blue! GO BLUE!

today ... headache, but what made me happy

what made me happy today? More like who made me happy today really? :)

I was happy to talk to Erin :) I have not talked to her in forever and I felt real distant. As much as we've changed and grown, she is still one of my closest friends. It's nice hearing about all her boy stuff, and talking to her again. It's crazy how far away she seems.

David!! :) He was real sweet today! I had an AWFUL headache today and he brought me advil, made food, brought me a cold compress, tea, and was just so sweet! :) He even offered to stay home from poker! I was very interested in having some alone time, so I turned him down,and I wanted him to have fun! :)

At work today, the only thing that made me happy was learning more about the process I was observing and being ready for a workshop for next week. I hate standard work!!! :)

1. You must be honest about what’s actually fun for you. It’s a Secret of Adulthood: just because something is fun for someone else doesn’t mean it’s fun for you, and vice versa. (as quoted from an awesome site http://www.happiness-project.com/)

4. Exploring areas of the city
5. Going to the bookstore
6. Reading a good story (FICTION !)
