Moving slowly with a slight rumbling tummy from the night before - apparently my alcohol tolerance has severely weakened. Hot Yoga. Group Power. Rehearsal with my Ladies outside and Acting Class at Night. Solid Thursday! Food Diary:
Breakfast: Ginger Ale and an Apple
Lunch: Mixed Chick Pea and Flax & Wheatberry Salads from Sobeys with Avocado topped with an Amy's California Burger on top of a bed of spinach. Red Vanilla Roobios Tea
Dinner: Freshii Vegetable Burrito with Brown Rice, Roasted Red Peppers, Goat Cheese, Spinach & Tofu on in a Whole Wheat Tortilla. Lemon & Chamomile Tea with Honey.
Evening Snack: 2 Apples - in lieu of feeling slight sickness - A Banana and 3 Rice Cakes with Honey
Gratitude:
I am grateful that Daniel was teaching the morning yoga class. He has great energy to set off the tone for my day.
I am grateful for the corrections and assistance by the teacher in my weight class.
I am grateful for spending the afternoon on Cat's Balcony in the sun running lines.
I am grateful for...DARK CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUT GELATO I splurged on before class on this sunny day.
I am grateful for the inspiration and groundedness I find at class and among the good people in class.
I am grateful for love stories that make my insides remember the sweet romance.
I am grateful for my streetcar ride home and chat with Caitlin.
I am grateful that it was 11:30 at night and I still felt warm enough in my lightweight jacket.
I am grateful for my roomie chat with Nat. Love the bounding in from the day and the spillage on both of our parts of our thoughts and feelings from the day and of life & people!

"Because we all need a little nostalgic Jazz and inklings of Paris in Spring. Thank you Mr. Parker."
Reflection/Inspiration: How are you? What have you done this week? It comes up constantly. It has ,in the past, been my most unfavorite question. Every day banter and chit chat. Every week is new in learning and living and being human.What did I do this week? I lived for another week as a young woman. I laughed, I cried, I probably had a mini tantrum over something ridiculous - I'm constantly changing. Has anything monumental happened in my life lately - maybe some would say no - no marriage, babies, huge promotions or deaths in my life - but to me everyday is monumental. Everyday is me seeking my places of Joy. The happy moments fleet just as the painful ones do. And then I am left with myself, simply being alive on my journey of self discovery. So, when someone asked me for an update on how I have been this week, I responded with this: I ate an apple. Met a pimpin exchange student from Australia. I'm knocked up and we have decided to move to Borneo to raise our lust baby amongst the orangatans in the wild heat of the jungle. The idea of living and flying through trees has my heart palpitating and me sweating like a motherfucker! So I seem to be alive and well. NOW I am not suggesting you have to use your overactive imagination like I do - BUT find the stories in your life. You are never doing nothing. You are constantly changing. So pick one and take these opportunities to share them.
Challenge of the Day: Practice patience with someone who may challenge you. Take a Breath. And change your thought.
