I've been going through pictures pulling out ones for a special project... but I've gone through pictures from back in Okinawa, way back when all the way to recent pictures. The differences in my body, my lifestyle, the time that I had and energy is dramatic. It's been sorta an emotional rollercoaster to go through all of the memories.

Is it normal to reflect and miss the past? The kids were so cute and little... life seemed to have so many different stresses... none of them really seem like stress anymore. I suppose that's the ebb and flow of life and the stresses now will only seem unrealistic in another 10 years.

10 years... and then some... of living in this area that I live in... that I don't even really like... that if I didn't have to live in, I simply wouldn't. This makes me wonder what life will be like in 10 years... looking backwards, looking forwards.

Looking at the right now, it appears I have broken my tailbone. It's been sore since the kids and I spent some time up in the mountains for New Year's Eve. I went over a "jump" on a sled with The Daughter and hit really hard.... then I did Dwi Pada one day... and it's hurt even more ever since... and then, in typical Julie-klutz manner, I slipped, fell on my butt and slide down the stairs in my house.... I am now in constant pain.

First series this morning was a true bummer... tired... recovering from a long weekend... and with a tailbone that made itself known... well I just didn't enjoy it. I'm hoping a later practice tomorrow evening will give me a little boost before hitting the Mysore circuit again.
