I felt better today as I went along with my usual activities. I went to the gym to burn some energy on the elliptical- and my hip pain is improving. So, after a VERY busy day I was trying to imagine practicing yoga too. After I fixed dinner, cleaned all the dishes, finished helping the kids with homework, picked up, sorted some laundry, made a few phone calls to the insurance company, checked my bank acct, fed and walked the dog, made lunches for the all 3 boys, I laid my body down, and did what any young mother would do...I just laid there. Flat on the floor, knees bent, hand on my stomach. It was AMAZING! I began to focus on my breath, and soon, I began to feel all the tension in my neck, back and shoulders. As I continued to breathe, this tension slowly melted away. Constructive rest, indeed!

ReplyDeleteA mother's work seems never done
ReplyDeleteAs the cycle from before has again begun.
Maternal instinct needs the rest
When the chicks temporarily
Fly from her loving nest;
Which leaves mum momentarily
Time to yoga and to breathe
For her aches and pain to leave.
I did yoga once and really enjoyed it. I like to stretch before a workout. Thank you. Take care. Bye.
What great writing! I love it. Thanks for reading!
