It’s been a while since I posted so I thought I should write a quick note. It’s been an amazing year, and I’ve learned so much! I feel great! It is nice to get into a routine, and start new habits that stick.

It’s easy to do when life is comfortably rolling along the way that you’ve become accustomed to. The challenge I’ve found, is what happens at the bump in the road: when you’re dealing with a lengthy illness in the family, a new job, the end of a school term, a sudden and unexpected move, or all of the above (check).

So it is that I find myself surrounded by boxes piled to the ceiling in preparation for our move in three days. Even packing has been challenging, between field trips and classes with the children, and everything else that has been going on. I thought that I’ve been handling everything very peacefully, until I had a fainting episode this past weekend. I guess my body was feeling the stress despite my emotional calmness.

It is a real blessing to have a strong body in times of stress. Am I keeping up with all my healthy habits? Honestly, I have skipped some days, knowing that it is temporary, and I will get back to it. After all, I am working on my strength lifting boxes around…

Yesterday, I found myself doing my yoga routine without the DVD. I was surprised that I could remember the routine, for the most part, and it was a new and pleasant experience to do it in silence, at my own pace, without the voices of the instructors in the background.

So I apologize for the shortage of posts while I am getting our active lives moved and organized again. I’ll be back (says she dramatically)…
