Wandering Mind

today than yesterday. There is noticeable differences in my practice from one day to the next. I go through my practice with more intention than ever before and the rewards are noticeable. Those foundational things with the feet and legs and hands that I used to cheat through because I could and because they were "too hard" (read I was "too lazy") are now truly the foundation of my practice. My practice only takes an hour because I am only doing the Suryas, standing, and finishing so I have the energy to do things better and there is nothing I'm trying to move on to. I just do the pose I'm in. I think it helps that I know I'm in this for the long haul so I've limited myself. 31 days straight and I don't want to hurt myself or push too far but boy howdy, part of me wants to do more. I think I have a drive that too often takes me too fast and I either burn out or get hurt. Slower, Stronger and with Intention.

L wasn't feeling a whole lot better but she still joined me for practice. I really love watching her move with our little baby poking out in front of her. The little one is moving all the time now and it's so much fun to put my hands on L's belly and feel her dancing around. I know that being a new dad is going to be overwhelming because it's such a big task and it's something I've never done before but I have absolutely no fear because I know, no matter how overwhelming, it will be amazing. If waiting for this baby doesn't teach me patience, nothing will.
