Tonight’s reintroduction back into yoga life was amid the Phillipine coral reef. Nightlife at Cal Academy breathed new life into me.
Initially, motherhood wore me down. Exhausted & out of the fitness loop, I felt drained.
Now? Well, now I feel stronger than ever.
I’ve always been a do all or do practically nothing type. Don’t know what this says about my personality. There is a time to rest & a time to rise.
Turns out I’m stronger than I thought. My planks feel powerful. My constant work outs now a thing of the past, I’m regaining my energy & feeling mighty.
Grateful for live music during yoga. I bravely laid my mat at the front of the class; I don’t care. I unabashedly wobble & rest in child’s pose when necessary. Two yoga sessions in one night! Had time for the planetarium too. I am pleased.
Time to build back the strength I thought I lost. My muscles depleted from lack of exertion. Actually mothering is the hardest work I’ve ever done. The physical toll, the emotional one. This is tough.
Thank you to my family for your constant support. My friends that cheer me on (I you, too).
For my child, whom I will continue to work on betterment for your benefit & mine. Life is divine.
