soul sista' check-in
'just got back from my yoga class (aaahhh), playing jack johnson's new lullabye tunes, hearing the pitter patter of the rain outside makes me nostalgic for the pacific northwest...single fin's trying out his brand new board in northshore. i tried to make him wait until after taxes are due. but how could i deny him his temple?
there's something about sundays that are so comforting. a whole day of emptiness. a blank canvas with nothing on it. endless possibilites on how it will look. i value these days, as they are far and few between ever since i started medical school.
life's been a little less crazy now, since i've been decreasing my responsibilities. taking a break from assisting bringing babies into the world, until the end of may. i'm just teaching at the massage school & yoga, practicing medicine & doing the presidency thing, as far as my responsibilites. hmm, somehow that still sounds like a lot :)
feeling pretty well balanced, overall. the things that bring me back to balance are my: yoga, surfing, hiking, eating lots of greens, girlfriend time, cat naps, savasana breaks, sleeping in when it's pouring cats & dogs outside, having time for my creativity, meditation, time with my other half, laughter, dancing, keeping in touch with family & friends, lisening to music, learning something new, experiencing new adventures, contributing to humanity & our earth...
i must say that i've been able to do a handful of these things each day. once again, just expressing gratitude for all that is. i would love to hear from you all what brings you back into balance. feel free to drop a comment or two!!
