Fireworks
This morning during practice I was thinking about past 4th of July Holidays we've had. On the schedule for today:
Practice for Me
The Gym for The Husband
A Pool Party
Family Dinner
Fireworks
It's pretty much the same as year's past with perhaps the middle part slightly different. Sometimes we go to the parade in RSF, sometimes we are hanging out with different people than we are today but, generally, we avoid the beach (too crowded) and almost always get a last minute offer that we are sad to pass up.
So far, we are on schedule. I got up for practice this morning and, though I'm ashamed to admit it, I took Motrin today. Mostly my head hurt and I have made an appointment with a dermatologist to get it looked at but, I will admit, that the idea of less pain during backbending was appealing.
Practice was good... the only thing of note was Kapotasana (now there's a surprise). I really really tried today to do some hanging but, more importantly, for the adjustment instead of coming over, putting my hands down and dropping my head... I waited... with straight arms... Tim grabbed my hands, head off the ground, and wala there were my heels... not top of heels but definitely heels... of course as soon as I put my head down I pulled them back down out of pure unregulated abject fear but I felt them... when I came up I said "Hey that was better!" He said "It WAS better." It brought me pure joy to know that, yes, friends, some day all my whining and disgruntlement over Kapotasana may, in fact, go away... this blog may not be An Ode To How Much I Hate Kapotasana forever. Imagine the possibilities!
As I was doing backbends today I thought about this picture that The Daughter and I took and is framed in our house:
I came home today and we took a new one... she's actually inside my backbend this time so I had to widen my feet a bit ... but I love it... it's cute.
Happy Fourth of July. Kapotasana like fireworks to all!
