Ok, it’s really not that hard to grock.

full version

sometimes i wonder if we create spaces for ourselves to make new years resolutions. when i got back from india, i was really worried about how i would handle practicing yoga by myself every day at 4am. it’s gone really, really well up until a few weeks ago when it has become a huge struggle … there have been a handful of days where i just couldn’t motivate myself through the whole practice. there have been other things too, old silly behavior patterns that i thought i got rid of but came back up again (really too boring to go into details). perhaps i subconsciously create these problems so that i have something to form a new years resolution around. perhaps that’s easier than having to find something really big that needs working on.

anyway … i am off to usa for a month tonight. will be on the west coast briefly, then to the east coast for a few weeks. i know i have only been back from india for a few months, but feel like i need a break again. there’s been some stuff at work that i let get to me, when i really should of just ignored it. from what i hear, there is snow back east too so that will be nice to see.

finally, i am starting a new category in this called “hairdon’t”. i called russell in mysore the other day to say hi, and he says “ohh we were just talking about you … how nice you are, what a great host you are, how to speak thai so well, how you are dedicated to your yoga practice and your studies, what a talented photographer you are, your hair, etc …” the hair part didn’t have any adjectives tied to it. no, “how creative your hair is” or “how hip it is” or “how nice it looks on you”. so in honor of russell, i’ll start to visually catalog all my interesting hair styles just did this one yesterday.
