Moccasin's and long showers

Last night I was complaining no venting to Jason about my little rut. As I was going to bed I started thinking about how I don't want to turn 30 or about the bills that we are paying. I thought about how my life is waking up early, working, then starting the process all over again the next day and wondering if any of my efforts made a difference. Let's just say it was all negative and so lame. It's funny what I teach in yoga to my students is exactly what I need to be doing in my own life. The theme of my classes was Santosa which means contentment. 


So today during my classes I felt better. I had a student come ask me if he can come to more of my classes because it made his day better, I went to the gym and kicked my own butt, I took a long shower after teaching and used my favorite shampoo which (last night Jason asked if this was the shampoo I used in Europe when we started dating..what a memory), I drank my favorite ice tea and read my book, and I also got these moccasin's in the mail today and have been wearing non-stop. So things are good and things are better. It's when you realize that a long shower and moccasins help you be more content and start enjoying the simpler things in life.


Happy Wednesday.

I totally understand what you mean about the same ole routine everyday. I was feeling the exact same way last night watching Sam run around wild at 10:30 wondering if I'll ever get down time again.

Glad you had a better day today. Remember every day is a fresh start. If you can't change your life change your attitude.

Thanks Ab & Mart..I feel much better but it is so true about changing your attitude I need to remember that on these certain days..and yes Abby you'll get some down time for sure as for the shampoo Mart, it is ABBA mint. I've used it on and off for years. You have probably used it at one point.

i heard this the other day, and like it. "you can't control the universe, but you can control how you react to it." kind of goes along with that changing the attitude thing. we can't control all the crazy stuff that goes on in our lives, but we can control our outlook.

Sounds like I need to treat myself to a loooong shower and a pair of moccasin's. :)

P.S. I love that ABBA shampoo!
