humble pie

OK so I skipped yesterday. I made a commitment to post something on this everyday and I skipped yesterday. Ironically and I suppose apropos, is that yesterday was an important day for the commitment between me and my honey. I love being right and I love feeling justified in my thinking and behavior. It's easy for me to admit this, but like mama lowery has been reminding me for quite some time now, admitting something does not justify or excuse it. I struggled with seeing things from his perspective. I had a dream last night that was so simple and pure about the two of us in the sense that we were just laughing and enjoying each other's company without expectation or need. It was also incredibly powerful. It allowed me insight, genuine insight into our relationship and rather than simply agreeing for agreeing's sake or arguing for arguing's sake I truly got it and this strengthened our commitment.

Today I explored the yoga community in the Akron/Canton area and went to class at Lifesource yoga in Fairlawn. It was awesome, just what the doctor ordered, a sweaty, flowy vinyasa class. I plan on signing up for a 2 month unlimited pass for $99! I won't get a chance to go back tomorrow but will most likely make it Fri or Sat. It was a very humbling experience. I was not able to do things I could a few months ago. I have not been taking as good care of myself as I would like so I am going to add a second declaration going along with writing here daily, to go to class or run everyday. I feel so much better when I give myself that gift.
