savouring

i have come to appreciate many things in my time.

and, especially, these past couple months

due to my hectic schedule.

i have to appreciate these things while i can.

things like a cats purr

a warm cup of tea

a (non-french) book

music

my running shoes

the sunlight

fresh air

and my yoga practice.

i have been savouring my yoga time lately.

probably because i spend most of my days sitting around listening, studying, or writing

so when i finally get to move, it is a beautiful thing.

i make my down dogs extra wide

so i can feel my spine and calves stretch.

i focus on areas of tightness in my body

and send my inhales to those area

and push out the tension with my exhales.

i find my physical limits.

i spend all day finding my mental limits

and believe moi, i find them.

so, really, there is nothing better than finding a little spot of sunlight

unrolling my mat

and sweating and stretching away some stress.

however.

if i could mix a kitty in to the mix, i would be content:
