Damn but it’s good to be back at yoga class!

Well, except for the having to get up really early bit and leaving the house while it’s still dark … not to mention the freezing cold (it went down to -2º last night!). But it was great being in class again and seeing all my old yoga buddies.  I had texted Ana the instructor beforehand and so she had “reserved” my favourite spot in the corner for me.

So the deal is that I’ll see how it goes this month before I commit to the monthly payments again. I stopped by the gym yesterday to sort all that out because when I had called them at the end of last May and explained what was happening (this was before I knew there would be two more operations) I thought I’d be returning in September. And because I had paid for May but hadn’t been able to go I was told that my first month back would be “free”.  And so that “free” month is now January.

I thought it was especially nice because the guy at the desk was new and when he looked on the computer to re-activate my card he said there wasn’t any mention of a free month, or what my payments would be when I started back. I’d also noticed that the monthly payments had gone up so I told him what I had been paying before and he said no problem, that he would put that in as my usual amount and I could start paying again next month.

Anyhow, just home from class now and feeling much taller!  🙂

Yay! I’m 52 today!

I’ve always loved birthdays and have never understood people who fret about “getting older” because, as I’ve always said, it sure beats the alternative. And of course this year that statement carries a lot more meaning for me after everything that’s happened since last May.

So today I will be quietly celebrating.  Starting off with going back to yoga class! Then I’ll be going out for lunch with Pipocas – haven’t seen her for three weeks because she’s been away on holiday, so I’m really looking forward to that. And at some point during the day I’ll open the cava that Pablo brought over on Christmas eve.  Otherwise and that, I’ll probably just hang out at home with Nog and the cats and play with my iPhone … and just really enjoy being here.

So help yourself to a glass of bubbly and welcome to my birthday!

A few last minute Christmas gift ideas …

“… mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologise if you were wrong. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it out still once again.”

Necessary Angels

They are not doctors. They are not nurses. They are illiterate women from India’s Untouchable castes. Yet as trained village health workers, they are delivering babies, curing disease, and saving lives—including their own.
