The gift


Wow! This last week has been so amazing. It has given me so many things to take to my mat. Being with my brothers and sisters has been some of the best times I have had in the longest time. We haven't all been together since my wedding which will be 20 years next summer. Just to be around them all and talk to everyone was so special.


As I looked over the past week I had to laugh a little. There were so many little things that went on to remind me of my dad. The fact that several of us had tire problems and then I went on to have several more car issues was such a little joke that I knew he had to have had a hand in. So I wasn't surprised when the day of the funeral started out so dreary, a very Eeyore type of day to say the least, I wasn't surprised. I thought that dad was having another laugh with us all. Later we went down to the docks by Cory's house to take pictures. The lake was so still and the sunlight was heavenly and that is when I saw the real gift that dad had given me...my siblings. I am so blessed and grateful to have each and every on of them.

Bye

My dad passed away last night. This morning I woke up early and knew that I had to go to yoga class, and it was exactly what I needed. I wanted some time to myself because I know the next few days will be kind of stressful. I am so glad that I was able to come out for the last few days and spend them with dad. I am grateful to a smart brother who called and let me know what was going on.

The time that I spent with my dad means the world to me. There are things that he has said over the last week that are of great value to me I am grateful for the time together. I am grateful for my dad. I am excited for him for his next journey.

I love you dad!

Try it, you'll like it!

You really should try it. If you have ever thought about yoga but told yourself that you are not flexible enough or you don't have enough time or whatever the thing may be, please check this out. You can do it from the comfort of your home with a wonderful instructor that is easy to understand. Yoga is not about how flexible or bendy you might be, it is about so much more. I invite you to find out what it can mean to you.
