I just talked with Robin on the phone, and it was really nice. I hadn't talked with him since he left Portland after Reed graduation. I miss having friends around. It's a shame he was always so damn busy. We'd make good friends.

I'm frustrated. I left the yoga training full of ideas and hope for implementing new behavior patterns and lifestyle choices. As school gets going, I have no time to process or try these things. I'm ashamed to say that I have actually yet to practice yoga since I left the training. That is not what I wanted. I'm struggling just to do my ( Read more... )
