Beyond everything, it is kinda hard to think and type tonight, since my body is sooooo sore. I have been working very hard, which is great. I feel really good and strong...but ultimately very sore. I am even in pain as we speak, especially the triceps (worse on the right tricep). I guess we know where I need to work and get stronger, huh? In any case, today was great. I had my second yoga class, which I really enjoy. There seems to be a good balance between strengthening exercises for the body and the mind. Today's class really pushed my lower back. (And since I worked it really hard at the gym Monday, it is screaming at me tonight too.) I wish I could remember more of the names of the poses and such...mental note: refresh each day and cross-reference with my yoga book. Challenges for my brain as well. I am meeting more people, which is also a priority on my list. Today I met Linda and Lisa. I now see a pattern...lots of "L" names in that class. It sure is a diverse group of people.
Tonight was pretty exhausting, between running late on the schedule due to yoga...and still trying to accomplish my long list of "to do's", it may be a while before I can slow down. Tomorrow may be a little more challenging, since I get to start working with Tony on my new software training. I will need lots of protein to keep the brain functioning tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. It is crazy when you stop to breathe, and take time to become more aware of your surroundings, what kinds of things fall into your lap. I was at work, grabbing something I printed off the copier, when I noticed a new magazine in my co-worker's mailslot. I was intrigued by the cover photo, then quickly got sucked into the article. Funny how that works...so easily distracted. In any case, I became engulfed in the story about the architect that designed this new church. The photo on the cover was amazing; very creative use of natural light. So I flip right to the cover story and begin reading. To make the long story short, I learned all kinds of things about eco-theology. What a interesting philosophy. If for nothing more, it allowed me to realize that I was making a real impact on my mind; by allowing myself to really see things from a new, more open perspective. That felt very refreshing. Does that make any sense?
