get moving

James and I  had  a wonderful holiday visiting  my lovely mum in York western Australia .
mum and I went  to the exercise  group mum goes to , its called  Mobility ,to  my surprise, they do a lot of yoga  asanas  {yoga poses }  I  was in my element. I was getting  ready to do the chair exercises , when  a lady came up to  me and said , no chair exercises for you . I smiled and asked why. the lady said you are young enough,  flexible enough, and fit enough to do the floor exercises .she gently grabbed me by the arm and led me to the exercise mats  she smiled and said  now grab a mat . the ladies that go,  made me feel so welcome and are a barrel of laughs .
my coordination  was shocking . I knew it wasn't my day. so I did my own. I did a yoga workout ! I asked after mobility  if  that was alright, I was told you can do what you like  as long as you are moving .
then  once everything  is put away its off  for coffee and a good chat then home . leaving you  feeling great and energised for the rest of the day   what could be better than that .
it just goes to show that exercise does not discriminate .
as long as you are moving , your life will improve ten fold and you will be better for it.
so get moving  whenever  or however you can.




Namaste .

Back into the 21st century

hi all , we have been connected to  a  new internet system.
 its called the{ NBN}  National  broadband network .
what a drama !!  its like you need a degree just to get everything connected !
then we had to wait even longer, for  our  internet server to switch it on !
this is all  how it came about.
we received  a new modem or gateway as they like to call it , and a new phone in the post.

the instructions  in with the package to connect everything were easy enough. so we thought , how wrong we  were! weeks went past  still no internet  how frustrating!  I felt like pulling my hair out . I'm surprised I'm not bald !! finally  we had had enough  and got our computer guy out , he said we needed  a wireless gadget  , don't ask me the name  ,I have no idea  James went out , brought  what we needed,  our computer guy  installed  it , and hey  presto !!!!
we are back into the 21st century !!!!
we hated being  offline for so long, now you will be seeing more of us and you know what , we cant wait .














Namaste

new begininnings

 2016  has been a yell year, for us and for a lot of other people , I think that's what 2016 will be known as .
 I know I haven't written in a while, as  we have taken an emotional  beating  this year.
 being emotionally bullied has taken its toll  on both of us it has not been fun .
 so  I  put my foot  down.   no more emotional bullying  ever again we would have a good Christmas and that's what we did .
we both   spoilt  each  other rotten.  . James my lovely  wonderful hubby brought me a foot spa  how spoilt am I ! and I brought James the  Leonard Cohen album,  you want it darker . and binging on chocolate and favourite chips ! just glorious this time of year .
on boxing day  I watched a special called  Robbie  Williams at the Palladium.
 it was great , what a showman he is just  brilliant .
 now I  digress. yes I have  binged and why not .it is the festive season and all.
I just said to James, we haven't gone overboard with the food,we have had enough for Christmas and boxing day, I cooked a roast chicken, and James bought ham, and I made  a Greek salad and a potato salad  . yum!  I made just enough for two meals. so you see  you can have a lovely time without overdoing it, I'm proud of us this year.  actually I'm proud of my family every year.
and we still have some nibbles left over.  can you believe it ! we cant
so  think of this year as new beginnings we are .


NAMASTE.

lovely lady rest in peace

 its a sad day for us today, last night , we lost a beautiful  lady.
, my husbands  mum, her names Mary.
she had such a wonderful  aura  about her , mum greens  smile was infectious .
 her warmth was felt by everyone who knew her.
I was one of the blessed  to have felt that warmth , earth has lost more of its light.
the sky has  a new star , and heaven  has  gained  an angel .
mum green as I call her  my  beautiful mother - in law  , mother, ouma, grandmother,
great grand mother and aunty .
you are not suffering anymore   lovely lady rest in peace
 

out through injury / back from injury

well  what a year
  I have had injury after injury.
I was walking home from the hospital, and when , I was about to cross the road when
 all of a sudden  I met  the tarmac  , I tried getting up, but as I  tried I let out a primal  scream .
in utter agony .
thank goodness I  didn't fall  on the highway !!!!!
three months  later  after seeing the Dr , and  being on crutches, my foot still is not right
and still is in agony . so I went back and found out,
not only are my tendons  buggered, but after having an X-ray,  I  was told that I   have a 7mm bone growing out of the bone of my right foot  .
I'm pulling  my hair out  , through not being able to do yoga , I'm surprised  I'm not  bald !!!!
I  miss my  me time ,
it  is now august and my tendons  have healed.

I went to the podiatrist yesterday , and  she said
I can do my Hatha yoga  !!! I'm so excited!!!
the podiatrist said I also have to concentrate  on the balancing  on  one foot asanas
  such as the tree
she said do this while even brushing my teeth ! as
this will strengthen my  foot and ankles .
I see her  again  in a months time
and  as for the 7 mm  bone growing out the side of my foot
the  podiatrist thinks I have had this all my life  and have only aggravated  it  by my fall

the one foot  balancing asanas are 

the  tree

the eagle

the standing bow .

so back to having me time !!!
and enjoying  my hatha  yoga .
I cant wait .










Namaste.
