Days of Our Lives...
Just kind of updating….
Work sucks – pure and simple – love my job (well the purpose of the job, the ‘spirit of the job’) – can’t stand the worker bees or the institutional setting….
I am growing tired of ‘pushing’ Yoga at work when no one wants to get behind the program. I am seriously thinking of just ‘quitting’ Yoga at work and branching out into the public sector.
Speaking of Yoga it had been forever since I went to visit my old Yoga teacher – I had been wanting to take Erin with me but the opportunity never presented itself. Last night I was able to do both – it did not look like Erin was going to be able to go but it turned out, thanks to a nice neighbor he was able to secure babysitting for the kids. The Yoga school is quite a drive from where we live and what with rush hour traffic, the drive was stressful – but arrive we did and on time.
My Yoga teacher entered the room and greeted me warmly. One of the other old-time students had already noticed me and we talked briefly. The session was not his normal ‘kick-ass-take-no-prisoners’ class but it was still wonderful and wow am I out of shape! At the beginning of class my teacher always asks about new-comers Erin told him that he had practiced Yoga before when my teacher asked what kind – Erin told him, ‘Whatever C~ teaches me – my teacher laughed and said that was great. Erin did well (but then that was a given). Afterwards I took Erin by the hand and brought him to my teacher. My teacher gave me a huge hug and told me how good I looked and how nice it was to see me again; asked after my own teaching efforts. I introduced Erin as my fiancé and my teacher beamed and said that obviously I was more than just his Yoga teacher. He asked how we met. We both looked at each other and laughed and Erin told him we met through my ex husband. My teacher smiled – patted Erin on the shoulder and said: ‘Wasn’t he a dummy?’ It was not a malicious comment – there was no meanness to what he said. Erin laughed gently and said he agreed. Meanwhile I felt elated…..
I was sore last night but today I feel wonderful. I need to find a local Yoga class and go work more often.
Today, as I was getting my coffee at Au Bon Pain – the guy that always hit son me came up to me and asked about the ring on my left hand. I told him it was an engagement ring. He looked at me funny and said: ‘I wish I would have gotten happy with you before that bum came into your life’. I said: ‘He is not a bum and you had your chance.’ He smiled and I left to pay…
Yeah life is weird, wonderful, wild….as always, I am amazed.
