Day 41 - two hour attitude adjustment

I am really learning to be thankful for saturday morning yoga.  This morning I was not a very kind mother or a gentle wife.  I woke up on the wrong side of bed.  Someone should have told me to go back to bed and start my day over.  I left the house, cried and went to yoga.  Not only did I sweat all the crankiness out but I was able to focus on nothing.  I am learning to love and embrace this concept.  The people who know me best know that my mind NEVER stops.  I constantly analyze, think about, worry about, obsess about, anything and everything.  For example, while making dinner I was thinking about paying off all our credit card debt, redoing the kitchen, finishing the laundry, a presentation I am doing on Change Management, driving to Detroit tomorrow, setting up an appointment with my new financial guy regarding my 401k, retiring in Chicago, getting new window treatments for our bedroom and what kind of baby food I am going to make on Monday (i think avocado and carrots).  And dinner only took 15 minutes to make. 

What the two hours allowed was time for me to change my attitude...adjust my horomones, and clear my head.  It is heavenly.  I love the fact that it gives Jeff time with the girls to just relax after he's been working all week, I love the fact that I come home in a good mood. 

Dear God.  Thank you for teaching me new ways to clear my head.  Thank you for giving new meaning to being fully present.  Thank you for my two hours on Saturdays.  Amen.
