Yoginspiration
Ignoring the sexism of the translation, good quote.
Mana eva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho: (YS 1:2)

Yoga and such
Yesterday's yoga class was all sun salutations, push-up variations, reverse push-ups, and other arm-strengthening exercises. I did alot of flopping around like a fish, but got through it with some modifications. Not by any means a good class for me.

Haven't done this in several weeks - Thankful Thursday
I am thankful for:
My cat
Japanese food

Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,

Christmas in July
Weirdness: For some reason, every time I turn on the tv there's a CHRISTMAS movie on. On the 4th of July. To add to that, I ran to the supermarket an hour ago, and the car I parked next to had red "santa hats" on the two front seat headrests. Is there something I'm missing here? ::raising eyebrow::
