So, it turns out if you do something that's good for you repeatedly, you actually do get better at the thing. I've been pretty good about my yoga practice for a while now, but at the end of last week I just stopped for a few days and couldn't really tell you why. Just got out of habit I suppose. But I stepped back up to the plate last night and did my normal 20 minute routine plus 10 minutes of lotus flexibility exercises and I tell you pubski, it felt good. I think I'm gaining a better visceral understanding of how some people can enjoy physical exertion/exercise so much. This is probably overly simplistic, but there's a real satisfaction in knowing that the things I have been doing are actually effecting change. Change that is tangible, demonstrable, healthy, and completely self directed. Baby steps. My first season with the new choir is coming to a close. We're going on our mini-tour next week (Toledo Symphony Whattup!), then we're done with regularly scheduled rehearsals until the fall. Semi-related note, there's a cute soprano who keeps (Intentionally???) catching my eye. I think I'll introduce myself next week.
