...are all I want right now. (warning: self-pity alert!) I'm sick and have a rehearsal that I can't miss, and a dinner at Mona's Lebanese Restaurant with my fellow yoga teacher training grads, which I should miss but just don't want to...but might have to. :(
It's just one of those sick-days where once I get going I will probably feel fine, but logically I know that rest would be best. Too many commitments, I'm afraid - life cannot be put on hold, just because I have the sniffles. I already missed a day and a half of work during the week when I was at my worst - now the weekend is here. before I know it Monday will be at my doorstep.
Here's to a hopefully slow-moving weekend. :)

Almost there....
I am unofficially a yoga teacher training graduate. Just need to complete my 20 hour practicum and first aid to receive my certificate, and I will be ready to hit the pavement knocking on the doors of studios and community centres to secure a weekly class time. Whew! So excited to start sharing my OM!

Sun! Glorious Golden Sun!
Oh, Mr. Sun...This Christmas holiday has been so unusually sunny for BC...(sighs contentedly). Here's hoping that it stick around for a while. But...
It also reminds me that British Columbia is as beautiful as is it because we get so much rain. My brief stint of living in Calgary several years ago made me blissfully thankful for all those dark, rainy days. Yes, those rainy days often bring on the blues (or sometimes even the mean reds) for many of us, but the rain also brings us the lush, vibrant green trees, grass, the beautiful fragrant flowers...okay, so I do complain a lot when my hair becomes a massive unruly frizzball. So I spend more time in my polka-dotted rain boots than is fashionable acceptable. And I do suffer from the aforementioned blues (and more often, the mean reds) when the lack of Vitamin D becomes a bit much. BUT the few sunny days like this are so much more worth it, when in all the sun's brilliance we see the stunning colours of British Columbia, and I have the rare opportunity to do my morning yoga in the giant sunbeam streaming through my living room window. (Sighs contentedly once more)
Namaste.

Fa la la la...f@#k!
The Christmas melancholy is setting in...walking around in a daze wondering what to buy for whom, when I will have time to buy it, blah blah blah...last year I was so organized that the bitterness never came. This year I am so busy, so INSANELY busy, that those old feelings of disenchantment towards "Consume-mas" are in full swing.
I would love to make some delightfully thoughtful gifts, a la Martha, but...it's that damn time thing - dance rehearsals for the Winter Hafla this Saturday, studying and homework for the yoga teacher training (3 more months to go...), and of course that pesky 9-5 job. AND finishing off the thank-you cards for the wedding (must get those out this week), organizing my dance costumes for Saturday, etc.etc.etc.
Here's hoping that next year, I will have LOADS of precious time to make cookies, candies and scarves (oh, my!) for all those people on my Christmas list. This year, it's gonna be gift cards and store bought goodies, terribly impersonal, I know, but it is a temporary fix. I figure my loved ones will appreciate that I am just preserving my sanity, and that all that celebrating we will do together (because I am making time for that!) means so much more that anything we could buy each other.
Off to do more yoga homework! Namaste.
