This morning I had the affirming thought of "Taking time for me".  That I am worth it.  That I wish each and every one of us would start our mornings with that thought. 

This is new habit for me.....

I have been starting each morning with a very short (10 minutes) practice of yoga.  I got the sequence from an insert in the July/August issue of Yoga Journal.  

I just started one morning last week (more on that).  The nice thing is that I am continuing it, without struggle, without debating myself, without the feeling of "just one more thing on my todo list".  I look forward to it.  I have naturally started adding a bit of other poses to it, mountain pose to open, child's pose to pause, modified lotus (my flexibility isn't there yet) to end.

I also find, it is very subtle right now, but it is there, that I am allow myself to be kind to me.  I am encouraging those around me to do allow themselves to be kind to themselves, to be open to what brings them happiness.

These are the very things that turned me onto yoga and have been missing for so long.  I don't know why it is happening now and not earlier AND things do happen when we need them to, so I will go with it and let the past go.

Beauty, Breath, Balance to you,

Terrah
