Today was such a beautiful day. A gift in the middle of winter. I made sure to walk to get groceries, divvy bike, and go for a run. Kitty and I even sat on my back deck. How have I been getting through winter? Lots of naps, my electric blanket, dinners with friends, and most of all, trip planning for Europe. We have places to stay and plane tickets. We still have things left to do, but the major stuff is nailed down. I know I'm going, but I honestly don't know if I'll believe it until I'm on the plane. I can't wait to experience new cultures and customs and languages. I can't wait to walk through places with so much history and see things I've only read about or seen in movies. This is why I've been babysitting almost every weekend. There is still money to save.
There are so many other things to look forward to in the coming weeks as well. Birthdays, events, plans with friends. I'm trying to continue to work on staying present. In yoga, one of my teachers is going over the 8 limbs of yoga. We are focusing now on the Niyamas, the things we can do to help come to terms with ourselves. The latest one we talked about was contentment, being happy in the moment. I get feelings of this pretty much every week. I am happy with where I am even as I continue to be excited for things to come. Get out and enjoy life!
