In no particular order.
- Yesterday I went to yoga the yoga studio solo. The only downside to this, is that there is occasionally partner-work. It’s a bit of a vulnerable feeling being in a hot yoga studio (wondering if your mat is stinking up the room, sweating to the nth degree, being one of a few guys) and partnering up with a random girl. At the end of our partner-work which wasn’t balance work (phew!) but instead some cueing/release-work. Upon the end, our instructor asked us to shake hands and return to our own mats. Instead of a handshake, I got a hug, [a sturdy, sweaty, grateful hug] and it made me really smile. I think I forget that the majority of yogis are joyful, non-judging, well-rounded people. Thanks, in part to her, maybe my next four sessions (before YUL), I won’t be so worried/self-conscious about how bendy I look… and instead just do my best.
- I had one of my most lucid, vivid dreams ever last night. I was giving C.P.R. to someone who fell down a cliff and into water. It was insanely real. Insanely, insanely real. The smells, the lighting, the feeling, the sounds: all of it. Wonder what that could mean? I’ve never actually given C.P.R. but in my lifeguarding days, I’ve come very close. Strange dream to have out of the blue like that.
- I am on holidays! Today’s the first day it seems totally real. I got a haircut. I made a fragrance purchase at my favourite [downtown] Bay. I tried to get some sun. A few e-mails and Facebook messages are making me feel like the upcoming Montreal trip is right on track! I’ve had so many opportunities today to just *sigh* and smile and be very, very glad. My biggest decisions coming up will be what [books and clothes] to bring poolside to my favourite city!
