Morning

"Water finds the path of least resistance. It flows. You never see square turns on a river. There’s always a curvature. I think life’s like that, too. It has a natural curve, an arc. I think it’s our job to trust in that…I’m grateful for the twists and turns of fate that have brought me here."

Last night my yoga instructor closed our practice with those words.
Through the silence they reached deep into me & took the breathe from my chest for a moment.
In the next, I caught it and the tears that were pooling behind my eyelids.
Gratitude. Always have gratitude.
Johnny Cash — Hurt
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
"And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened."

FML.
I lost the powercord to my laptop.
It was in my backpack this morning…and then when I got home last night and unpacked it wasn’t in there anymore! So, I spent 2 hours (including waiting 30 minutes for an effing class to let out of one of my classes from earlier in the day) retracing all of my steps from that day. I didn’t find it.
EFF MY LIFE.
This week…
has been the most bizarre, overwhelming week of my life. I’m so glad it is almost over…I just have to make it through a 5 hour studio today & the weekend is mine. Not really mine actually…because I’m going to be working like a crazy woman to catch up with everything I’m behind on. Oh, well.
This post was more to inform you I have comments enabled now…which I’m still trying to decide if that’s a good thing or not. We’ll see…
This morning…
I woke up in the best of moods & could not figure out why! I had just had a very stressful dream where I was being chased by a maneating lion & I have spent the last few days fretting over silly things, out of my control…so, that explains my wonder at waking in such a good mood. Then I realized the reason for it!
Today is the last day of the worst, most challenging & eye opening year of my life.
Thank God!
New Years has always been my favorite holiday & this year I greet it with even more enthusiasm for a fresh start!
