Days drift together....

I can feel age setting in where days drift from one to the next without much variation. I wonder if i should be happy that things are so calm or restless. I've been practicing yoga for the past month. It is tough, I'll be honest. Frustrating when I can't bend my body into a pretzel, but I am determined to embrace the poses I can do and keep trying. It have done so much work on my mind that I think it's time to try and have more of a relationship with my body. I've always tried to stay in shape but also in my older years this has become more difficult. I guess with another birthday quickly approaching....time and the realization that dedication and routine are becoming more and more important in my life. I am setting a goal for myself to make yoga a regular part of my life and hopefully I'll get back into meditating again.....

I'm not a very good long term planner but I think that now that time and choices aren't as daunting, I find myself making plans and being okay with them more and more. Realizing that most things really don't matter and all you have it today and enjoy it....it's hard some days..

In an attempt to make life less drifting together.....Thailand in 3 days!! We leave Saturday afternoon and get into Bangkok around midnight. 7 days of adventure. I am sooo excited. This is the first NEW country I've been to in almost 2 years... It is definitely renewing and I am very excited. I find traveling helps me appreciate life more. The exploring, learning, the unknown....love it.

Life is good. The routine, the new hobbies, the ability to create adventure when I can. It is good to remind myself about all the wonderful things that life has to offer. It is a task to live in the now and observe what is happening while actively participating. Still searching for the balance.
