…It might be today (until I came home from my evening walk to screaming, but we’ll just pretend that never happened).

Yes, if I could do any day over again, it might be today. I felt great all day. Woke up with a start. A jump start! Was unable to practice yoga because a certain someone insisted on sitting on my mat and because a certain other someone refused to play in his crib. But, I accepted it and moved on with a promise that I’d fit my practice in some other time of the day. And, I sure did….

…in my tiny piece of heaven — my backyard — on the monkey’s Dora towel, while she and her brother splashed happily about in their kiddie pool. Bliss. Nothing like saluting the sun IN THE SUN. We’re talking serious bliss, Gorgeouses…. Ommmm…. Serious.

But, I’m getting ahead of myself. I did something today…. I did something a little, erm, unexpected. Something that I’ve been thinking about doing for a while now, but that I haven’t mentioned to ANYONE really….

I quit the gym. WHOOOAAAH. I KNOW! Can you believe?

I quit the gym because I’m a full-on practicing yogini now. I’m all about it. I can dance and walk and use my parents’ or sisters’ or friends’ elliptical trainers if I need GYM. But, I CRAVE advanced classes and gurus and master teachers…. Like peanut butter. Like CHAI TEA LATTES. I crave it. CRAVE!?!

So, while monkey went to camp — IN HER PRINCESS DRESS, might. I. add…

…I went to the gym, and I quit. I sat at the manager, my buddy’s, desk, and I quit.

I’d be totally sad right now. Missing my gym peeps. But, I’m teaching yoga there in the Fall. So, not sad. Elated. Excited. New era.

So, I quit the gym, and then I called BFF Erna, who’s in town (from BERMUDA) for the week. And, we hung out with the monkeys all afternoon….

Nothing like sharing hours with an old bestie. Since high school. Erna and I go wayyyy back, Gorgeouses. We became friends when I choreographed our high school musical. She was freaked out about the dancing, so I gave her some private dance lessons, and the rest was HERSTORY! Heh!

Spending hours with her this aft was beyond special. It really is awesome being with someone with whom you can be totally transparent. Totally yourself. Hold nothing back. We talked and talked.

She’s an incredibly unique and creative artist. Look how gorj….

Her stuff will be featured on Kids Deserve Art as soon as the new site is complete.

I went for a walk after dinner. Rascal had gone right to sleep…. The sky was pink. The world was warm. Nice. Perfect day. I want to remember it and this great feeling. “Happiness,” I think they call it? Or, “groovy.” I found the groove. The the balance amid monkey’s tugging me every which way…. Hopefully, it’ll keep till tomorrow…. Love!

Oh, one more thing….

MAAAAAAARRRRGE!!!!!

Get OFF the table, you horribly terrible thing!!! LOVE!
