This whole holiday thing has really messed me up. A few minutes ago, throwing down my grilled un-cheese sandwich I realized "Man, today is Tuesday and I've just missed yoga!" I'm seriously bummed. I haven't been able to go to yoga twice in a week for over a month. Ah well, perhaps my body needed a break... I'm convinced my hives episode was an emotional release triggered by doing yoga.

Speaking of yoga, I forgot to talk about my shavasana experience when I did yoga at The Chopra Center on Saturday. Laying in shavasana, the teacher was asking us to call in the spirits of our loved ones to support us through our practice and day. At first, I thought of my grandmother but my grandfather was a much stronger presence. After a minute or two, I could clearly see and feel my grandparents. Suddenly up pops my MIL. She's sitting in a brown chair. A big chair. She has her customary glasses on and she looks at me and says "Communication is the key to marriage." That's it. She says no more. She simply sits as if a witness. I could feel her message, hear it, sense it. I was honored.

I'm thinking about taking the Engaged Buddhism class here just to see how I like distance learning in general. I have found two schools that look promising and have some really great programs. I am itching to do something in my life that calls to me. The Husband wants me to do some research first. He would like me to find the job I want to do then figure out what it takes to get there. The thing is I don't really know what I want in terms of a job nor do I know what jobs would be available by the time I'm done with school and/or in a position as a mother to work. Anyway, the thought of getting a degree in something other than computer science is calling to me.
