words.

I made the choice to go back into yoga after a severe wrist sprain last year.  I am writing because of the awe I feel transitioning between the "I can't" to the "I can and will".  What is magical about this experience is the transition was not the huge feat I was expecting.  From the "I can't" standpoint, transition seems so, so, so far away.  Once making that small (yet big) leap, looking back from "I can and will" you're filled with so much happiness.  Who really gives a shit how big or how small it took you to get there, YOU ARE THERE.  You, my dear, are present.

Another thought before I hit sleepy time: choice of words in Life and the power words have on all of us.  My mission is instead of the normal negativity that passes through our minds in certain situations I will substitute and say:

"I am grateful.  For (fill in the blank)"

Literally, why stress the small stuff?  As my yoga instructor would say,"This life is not a dress rehearsal.  Live it."

So beyond my random thoughts going through my mind and through my fingertips I say this,

I can.  I will.  I am grateful.  I am love.
