wildly forgetful

I'll be honest. I forgot to put up an entry today. And now that I'm faced with the entry screen, I'm completely forgetting what I'd intended to write in the first place. I do need to mention that I might not be posting as much this week - Trey and I are gearing up to launch a business, and I need to get back to work on setting up our house.

I wound up *really* getting into my practice on Friday. What started as a series of gentle stretches to help me unwind after a busy day turned into about an hour of playing with asanas I haven't bothered with in forever. Discovered that holding Side Plank on my left side is now an option (my left shoulder was injured at the end of the summer) without having to drop my knee to the floor. Fueled by that ability, I decided to play around with Wild Thing. Didn't think I'd be able to do it in a million years - the last time I attempted it I fell flat on my butt after twisting my shoulder. Why, yes, I *was* trying to force it and flip too quickly, why do you ask? I'm still not sure what inspired me to work my way into it on Friday, but I did, and was really happy to rediscover how much fun it can be to work with. Made the flip (carefully) and back into Downward Facing Dog (likewise) without the wobbles and shakes I expected. All in all, I was surprised at how I underestimated myself *and* yoga, not only was I able to do things I didn't think I'd be able to do yet, I saw that I haven't been giving yoga the props it deserves in building strength and confidence.

Off for a few rounds of Chandra Namaskar and some tea - in addition to forgetting to post an entry, guess who also worked her way right through the normal time for her practice today? Better late than not at all!
