A day in the life

Today I taught yoga for the very first time to a group of students at a local community center right near where I rest my sometimes weary head. It's about a 4 mile round trip walk, so it's getting me actually thinking about moving my lazy ass. As of right now, my legs are killing me....but it was so worth it.
When I woke up this morning I was in severe pain. I hurt my knee a few weeks back and it started bothering me today. In actuality, I think it was a sign that I was reluctant to move forward in my life. For the past year I have been virtually unemployed and this was a "job". I thought of every excuse in the book as to why I shouldn't go. But, in the end, I convinced myself that it was a step in a new direction, a lucky chance at being paid to do something that is good for mind, body and spirit. I went and I conquered!
Things here are settling down. I am finally starting to feel alive again. I feel like being outside, but I don't mind cozying in front of the tv or reading a book either. Last week, I lost my psychiatrist and had to stop taking my adderall cold turkey. It was hell for about 5 days, but I actually feel better. I have a new prescription, but in truth, I think I was taking it for all the wrong reasons. I'm really hoping I continue this attitude.
I'm starting to build a real life on the west coast. I've even started making some friends. All is good today. May I sit and enjoy the bliss....
