Pain (HM)

You want a Happy Moment? Like, in addition to the fact that my new comp has a backlit keyboard that allows me to type this while watching Leonard Cohen Live in London? Oh, Ok then…
Todays HM is the gorgeous pain I feel as a result of yesterday’s yoga class. Every movement I made today was shadowed by a tinge of pain. It is a pain I love. I call it my yoga hang-over, and like the regular sort of hang-over its a very real and physical reminder of something I did yesterday. But instead of spending too much money, drowning my liver and going home with a stranger, I am being reminded as I go about my day, that I did something good for myself and that my body is absorbing it. I can’t say how much I like the day-after pain. So much so that I went back today for another class. I showed up 40 minutes early though and so I ‘sat’ (my version of meditating. The ‘M’ word intimidates me but its the same action).
All said, my HM today os dedicated to this glorious tool I call my body and to all the healthy, bendy, breathy, stretchy sh*t I am able to do with it.

I know just how you feel and I love that feeling too. It’s important to remember how lucky we are to be able to move our bodies the way that we do. Cheers!
