Inspired by Pammie's Jazzercise, I made an appointment for an introductory session at a nearby yoga studio. I go at 9:00 this morning. I am pretty scared to do this. I have pretty good cardio fitness - running is good for that - but flexibility? strength? not so much. I hope I can do this.
Yesterday I spent most of the day making more salsa. Now I have a quarter bushel of tomatoes left over. My sponsor's favorite ever is tomato preserves, so I will make her some today. That is, after church and yoga (eeek!) and before a 3:00 meeting I have never before visited. Oh, and then back to church for my one hour of silent prayer.
I am so grateful that today is a third day off work. I am also grateful that I am looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow. I am grateful that I live in the United States of America, where keeping abreast of politics is very entertaining. And mostly? I am grateful to be a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous, which makes everything in my life possible.

You said it all, Mary; a busy day, full of goodnesses, time for meditation and prayer, and you have a heart full of gratitude.
God is blessing you, girl!
God is blessing all us sober people.
And I'm grateful for YOU.
Ah ha-I think yoga would be much easier-there is no jumping or weights to hold while you jump around and stuff. You are used to jumping up and down while you run-so some stretching stuff would complement that I would think. You go girl.
Ditto on the gratefulness for all the things you said.
I tried yoga, it was too sloooww.
(I know thats the point:)
You would be surprised at how much sitting still can increase your heartbeat and make you sweat.
Your salsa looks fabulous! I bought the book you recommended but haven't had a day to devote to canning yet.
You labored on Labor Day. And it was a good kind of laboring. I decided to minimize the labor and opt for mostly walking and some relaxing. It was a good weekend. I think that I need to try Pilates. My lower back might benefit.
