Sometimes you start something for nothing…not knowing which direction it’s heading.
But it’s OK because somewhere along the way, you’ll discover what it is. Like this thing that I am knitting. Knit it anyway, do it anyway, trust your gut and instincts, sometimes they suck but most of the time, they’re on to something.
I have always believed that people should be impulsive. Lord knows that I am the queen on being impulsive until I became a guru at being anal about everything my kids ate, touched, used, smelled, drank, kicked, read, heard, saw….the list goes on.
Really. Once you become a parent, everything is, like, a really friggin’ big deal, all of a sudden. Dirt on the chair, gum in the hair, upset tummy, not-properly-washed bodies, dirty fingernails….sigh…that’s how you wind yourself up so much that you are left like a bunched-up tangled telephone cord.
You can’t win anything when you are uptight about every nanothing in this world. We are not meant to live like that, really, that’s what I think. And that is why I’ve been forgetting to change the bed sheet the past two weeks.
Fine, fine. I’ll go change it after I post this.
But for 2010, this is what I am going to re-learn. I am going to learn how to throw caution to the wind and behave like an intoxicated teenager. I will learn how to not care where my kids have placed their fingers before stuffing it into their mouths.
Builds character, I heard.
Anyway, yeah…it’s just something I thought I’d share with you guys.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme
