Round 2...a mixture of things

Hello again. I have pondered what the 2nd blog should be about. Maybe my new (better yet my forever) attempt to become disciplined with my yoga practice. Or my obsession with long lasting relationship., Possibly my annoyance with the wandering thoughts of a distracted mind, yadaa..yadaa. Still have yet to decide so...it will be a mere collection of a few things.

Beginning with how I am still baffled when a "tough" personal experience pushes me to then push myself further toward goals or "things" that make me happy. Not that I sacrifice these "things" on a constant basis but I tend to loose sight at how wonderful they make me feel. With the many things I need to take care of (Sulli, Dad, house, work, etc) I have realized time and time again that none of these "things" are fully taken care of unless I am also taking care of myself so...
Inspired by this experience, this week has had a little bit of yoga included in each day. And I intend on keeping it that way.

At work lately, I have been getting to know patients more. What a treasure. Finding pieces of these old experiences. Although a personal goal of mine is to remain nonjudgmental, it is hard sometimes to see the elderly as once being more capable or totally self-sufficient. That is a whole other topic. Maybe blog # 6. Today, I am especially being drawn to the stories of this sort: "Mrs so and so and I have been married for 57 years." Or "my wife and i were married for 57 years and courted for 5. she died 6 years ago and I miss her the same every day." It is somewhat comforting being surrounded by people that think of love this way. It is so simple to them. It was so simple back then. My whole life I thought it was so simple. I wonder "what happened?". One of my fav patients said I must have had a past life from these days...he thinks I am an old soul lost in today's world. He said, "Good luck!" ha.

Dad and I made DELISH breakfast burritos tonight...together. What a wonderful treat.

With ending this blog because I am tired and a bit drained. I am inspired to write a blog regarding a book I am reading "The Tao of Motherhood." Let's just say...it is awesome!

Good night
