Rainy Days
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Rainy days…rainy days… I just didn’t have it in me. I made it through the Surya Namaskaras and half the standing but lost the motivation… I need a yoga buddy… Or a studio that I can practice at in the mornings. It’s definitely better for me to do it first thing every morning but Damn if it’s not hard to make it through some days by myself. Maybe its just that I feel like I’m by myself… Loss of that whole connection thing. Anyway… ebb and flow, right?
On the gadget front- I got a Palm Pilot, the Z22 (the cheap one). I wanted to sync my home and work computers and see if it is helpful in keeping me organized. So far it seems to be helpful but we’ll wait and see. If it turns out I use it regularly I’ll probably switch to the Treo in a year or so. Assuming I can afford that. (Moving on to the work front) The claim at work is that they’re trying to get me more money so I can actually afford to live here. We’ll see. There’s often a lot of talk with little action about things like this. I really like being here. Probably my favorite job to date but I thought I stopped that hand to mouth stuff a few years ago…
And in the rest of my life- there are questions being asked and questions being answered and creating more and bigger questions, still looking for the answers, but I know they’ll come.
This all sounds like I’m a little down, but actually, I’m not. In terms of general happiness, I haven’t been this content in a long time…

I know the feeling. Trust me. If we were on the same time zone I would say we could be motivational buddies. I'd call you when I got up: "Get up Chris! Time to practice!" Or you call me....
Maybe we should set up some exterior motivators. Like, for each day we miss practice (practice meaning at least sun salutations, fundamental asanas and closing) we have to send eachother $5. So if I don't get up I have to send you money. And if you don't get up, you have to send me money.
Or we don't even have to actually ever pay up, it could just be a challenge.... a running tab.
So far this week I owe you $5.

Well, if we're including closing asanas-let's just call it even. maybe we can each put $5 into our "India Fund" everytime we miss a practice... What time do you start your practice? Maybe I can call you as i'm finishing mine.
hmm... the ideas are flowing...

i can give you a yoga wake-up call each morning when we leave for yoga--say, 5:10 or so. or i could call at 3:55 when my alarm goes off...
you're not still sleeping at that time, are you :-)
