I am GRATEFUL for LAUGHTER

My delightful aunt and I have discussing the woes of the Brooks clan and the future of our lives and we had been discussing her suggestion on yoga and my wanting to take Tai Chi. She took or is taking yoga and I had said well I need to get a little bit lighter before I try and bend that way. Then she made me laugh so hard and I have to share....

The only thing to remember in yoga, is, as the instructors say, "listen to your body" and "yoga is a long journey and not a competition". No. 1, if I listened to my body I would not be doing this, #2 am I there yet, and #3, you bet it's a competition between me and that 20 something on a mat beside me.

  1. Your aunt sounds like someone who I would sit next to in a meeting (in the very back of course)and giggle and squarm during the whole time.

    I like that kind of people.
    I miss that kind of people.
    I miss you.
