And Yes For Sunday

Asked Alison if she was up to bicycling on Sunday and she said yes but suggested that we skip yoga so that we didn't have to do and prepare for back-to-back activities on our first significant outing.

Hit downtown and encountered several blocked roads because I didn't realize that the City Arch River project had extended.

Alison said that this road below was here first f' it moment.

I wasn't confident that I'd find my way to the Riverfront Trail parking lot but I did after several detours. Half the parking lot is fenced off but there was one space left for moi.

Alison and I stopped in our tracks because we noticed major changes in the mural at the start of the trail...

Continued with my bicycling adventure and peddled to work. During lunch thought about how I wanted to be active in the evening and it would have been ridiculous not to head to the park after work since it's nearby. Gathered workout clothes during my lunch break and carried out my plan. The weather was perfect.

Went to yoga tonight -- first time on the mat this month. Joy was talking the talk and saying stuff like calm and peaceful is our natural state and later on Your body loves your attention.

The Liaison

Went to meditative flow yesterday and Joy talked the talk for almost 60 minutes. She talked about abundance vs. lack -- how we get up in the morning saying that we didn't get enough sleep and how we go to bed at night saying that we didn't get enough done etc.

Joy also spoke about doing what you were meant to do (frequent theme) -- not what your friends or parents think you should do.

She went on to discuss the extraordinariness of an ordinary life...

Liked a lot of what she said yesterday -- Sometimes our minds need permission to get quiet and Our well-being has been prepaid. 

Joy ended the class with You are enough. You matter -- a concept that most of us know but need to have reaffirmed occasionally.

I went back for more today. It was a full house as it has been for this month of free classes and I'm totally digging the energy of 55 plus students in class.

The breath is the liaison between the mind and the body is a concept that caught my attention tonight along with cultivating peace one second at a time.
