Summer Solstice 2010 - June 21, 7:23 a.m. EDT
This blog post sponsored by: my good friend Yogini Extraordinaire TJ (in case she wishes to remain anonymous) who recently wrote to me:
"I have made such great progress with my physical therapy that my therapist feels that I will be doing downward dog by the beginning of summer."
Summer. Summer? Summer.
Now - all I can think of when someone says Summer is.....you know.....THE BEACH. And....usually.... I am at the beach with my toes in the sand on our annual girls' vacation on the first day of summer - Summer Solstice. BUMMER.
I am saddened to report - we have decided to forego our vacation this year because of a few reasons, primary being - you guess it - Ye Old Foot.
Summer.
Hmmmm. What's that date again? June 21st.
*Click over to handy dandy Outlook.*
No way. Nuh uh. Get out!
Just so happens - June 21st is the tentative date for YOF's release from solitary confinement!
OMG - are you kidding me?! So.....lemme get this straight.....we actually could have scheduled our vacation after all?!
Well....I'm just gonna have to change the subject here and now before something BLOWS.
So - it seems my friend TJ and I have yet something else in common! We will both be counting days and working hard in rehab and looking extra-special-forward to Summer Solstice 2010!
That got me to pondering.... (no! please don't run! lol)
I am willing to bet that at least one other person who reads this blog has some goal(s) they'd like to achieve within the next 60 days. (Feel free to jump right in and correct me as/if necessary.)
Surely:
SOMEONE here is recovering from a physically, mentally or emotionally traumatic event.
SOMEONE here is trying to shed a few pounds.
SOMEONE is trying to break a habit; or establish a new one.
SOMEONE needs to pay off those bills or eat healthier or trade in their tude.
SOMEONE wants to shed the Winter GUNK.
Ya think?
If you know ME, you know where we're headed...And, of course, to know me is to love me is to amuse me by riding shotgun with me, wherever I may roam and regardless of your motion sickness issues ;)
Hence - let the festivities begin!
Who's in?
Stay tuned...
Well shucks, my cheeks are turning red...I never knew that I could inspire someone like this. Yes, it is true...we are both counting the days and doing all that we can to get to our ultimate goal. I find that the more I keep doing my "homework" and making sure that I get the most out of PT, the closer it seems I am to my goal. So, June 21st - what a wonderful day...please be sure to come our way!!
ReplyDeleteAnd...get that vacation rescheduled - you deserve it after having to wear your combat boot :)
