Stories
This morning I heard something I liked a lot. The yoga instructor invited us to not judge ourselves, to not tell stories. I've been doing yoga since I was 14.

Trying Too Hard
I'm on my way to Pittsburgh for work. I'm traveling with a coworker. The coworker I find the most challenging. I'm not sure what it is but her tone always sounds disapproving to me.

Somehow I figured it would be possible to fill the bowl with exactly the right amount that with the ( Read more... ) -
Apology

I had made a special group to post some sensitive stuff and had meant to exclude from that group people who would prbably would rather not see those posts (or in one case asked not to see them).

3 Legs in the Evening
Three weeks ago Lion and I went to NY. He had been warned as to my lack of physical NYC worthiness and so had graciously ramped down his itinerary for us from break-neck speed to on the move speed. Nevertheless my body revolted anyway. It turned out to be plantar fasciitis, a painful but not dangerous foot condition. But we didn't know that in ( Read more... ) -
