Post Yoga

I was talking to a lady this morning before class - she asked me how I was liking yoga.  I told her if I was being 100% honest and frank (which, truly, I try to always) I'd say I don't particularly like the yoga itself.  But I sure like how I feel when I'm done. I love the mental and physical lift I feel, even if these bones and muscles are on the "old" side now.  It really has been good for me.

Loved seeing the deer.

Cute scene.

Yesterday morning, it was still full on dark when I left the house.  I'm scared of the dark so I'm fairly aware of my surroundings.  I caught some movement up ahead and froze in place until I could figure out what was moving.  7 deer. Walking down the middle of the street - until they caught my movement, when they, too, froze.  After they'd decided I wasn't a threat they crossed to the sidewalk on the other side and continued on.  They are so quiet - not a sound from their hooves. It was lovely to see them.  The only things moving on the street at that moment:  just the deer and me.  :^) (Sorry for the blurry picture - it was dark, they were moving and they were across the street. Couldn't be helped this time, even considering the camera operator.)

Then I arrived at the library to return my books and had to chuckle at these guys.  Their trucks were parked out front, and there they were sitting inside where it was warm, both of them on their phones, not speaking, just enjoying the peace and quiet.

He's seriously wearing a turkey hat?!

It was a pretty decent weekend, we saw a movie (The Kid Who Would Be King - kind of cute) and had some Cafe Rio (since I still had some money on a gift card.  I love their nachos, and it's best when you've someone to share them with), spent an hour wandering nearly each and every aisle in Hobby Lobby (I don't get over there very often, so it always seems fresh and new to me) and relaxed in the evening.  Sunday's R.S. lesson went ok, I guess. I can never tell, people are always so kind - but then that's how they are.  They'd tell you the lesson was great even if it wasn't.

I'm still so very much loving having The Husband around without so much pressure. Even when I'm such a "less than" wife (I really am working on my patience, even if it sometimes doesn't seem so).  He's good to be spontaneous.  I'm trying to be better at that.

I'm grateful today for some better sleep at night on the new mattress.  (The second set of sheets we bought at the same time fit the mattress better, and they stay put during the night which is a big help.)  I'm grateful for kind people.  I'm grateful for good things to read and friends who don't hesitate to loan you a book that they've loved. I'm grateful for things to stitch and for vacuuming that doesn't take too long.  And for $5 Tuesday at the movies.  It'll be fun.
