Crack My Back!

Happiness is...

When your back gives way to a nice stretch or crack. Okay, this sounds silly, but I'm absolutely serious. I love cracking my back. No, I'm not talking about when you stretch and pop one vertebrae... I'm referring to the feeling of looking over your shoulder and having several loud cracks and amazing relief. Cracking my back has some great healing properties that I can't even begin to describe---so I won't try.

Instead, I'll just twist in my seat, let my spine do the work. It's been super susceptible to being cracked lately. I'm not sure why... but I'm not complaining.

Enjoy the weekend!!

Happiness is...

Doing homework for the first time all weekend. No, I have not been consumed with my reading. I put it aside and enjoyed myself the last couple days. And you know what? It feels awesome. So there.

Today, I have to be productive. I have several chapters to get through. But that's not the end of the world. I am happy to buckle down after a couple great afternoons. And I am able to wake up early and do it. Why? Because I wasn't stupid about my weekend. It was just right.

Yes, tomorrow's Monday, and the week gets going all over again. Boo. But for today, I am going to revel in my relaxation and get some of this done. No worries, just work. It's all about your attitude.

Drugs

Happiness is...

Antihistamines. Yes, I got a full night's sleep. AND I didn't even have to deal with allergies. Double whammy... It was amazing, you must admit your envy. Riddle me this: what other drug accomplishes so many amazing purposes? What legal drug?

Foreign Food

Happiness is...

Thai Food.

In fact, I love all foreign food. But up there in my priorities is a good pad thai or pad see yew. Mmmm. Today we got some, and then we had the leftovers for dinner. What could be better than twice in a day?

A very relaxing weekend, I must tell you. You should try it sometime.

Yoga

Happiness is...

Yoga. I don't know how it took me this long to write a blog post about yoga, but here it is. Yoga is one of my favorite things to do to stay fit. Why? Because, more than any other form of exercise, it completely intertwines your mind, body, and spirit. The moves help increase your flexibility, build strength and stamina, and even target your inner organs. It's incredible the effect it has on you, for complete calm and utmost power. More than exercise, it's a meditative practice, and I looooove it!

Today we ran through sun salutations A and B, as well as some Warrior and Triangle burn poses. I can't get sick of it (except when my legs start shaking).
