Grandmother

My grandmother was a grateful person, and was always smiling

I am grateful for all the love and support I received from her.

She is a good role model for me.

I feel she is still around me, and feel so blessed.

Water crystals

I am reading a book about water by Emoto Masaru now.

This book shows various images of water crystals.

These beautiful water crystals were photographed after shown words of gratitude.

These two water crystals had received words meaning "wisdom" in English and German.

It shows how important it is to always use positive words.

Animals

This morning I found videos about a funny cat called Maru on youtube.

I watched dozens of them.  This comical cat made me laugh and laugh.

Now I am back home and enjoying the company of Sadie, my very loving beagle.

Animals have so much to give to us humans.

My first yoga class

I had my first yoga class today.

I was the only one who showed up, so it was a private class!

The instructor's name was Melissa, and she was very good.

She showed each pose in the way I could follow, and she did make me work hard.

One of the poses I liked was pigeon pose.

It was a little difficult, but I think I managed to do it OK.

I hope to take her class again sometime soon.

Take a deep breath

I felt anxious this afternoon, so I took a deep breath.

I paid attention to my breathing and kept breathing deeply.

After 10 minutes or so, I found myself feeling OK.

I didn't even need to know why I was feeling anxious.

I want to remember to do this whenever I feel anxious.
