MUST DO YOGA!
OMG this is good shit. Once things calm down, I intend to ramp up the focus on my yoga practice - it's better than cheese. I've found a new studio that has a great energy - I left after class Monday night feeling lighter than a cloud. The instructor read the following piece at the end of the class I attended on Monday which almost had me in tears....
Anyway
People are often unreasonable,
Illogical, and self-centered:
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
People may accuse you of having selfish,
ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
You will win some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

What a fabulous poem, or saying, or whatever you want to call it. I'm going to have to copy and paste this one for future motivational use.
Yoga is better than cheese, and MIGHT be better than peanut butter. I heart it!
Love the quote. My yoga instructor always has great stuff to read at the end, too--I love it! I am convinced yoga has helped me be a stronger runner, too--keeps everything in balance.
sounds like a good class! Glad you found something you enjoy! Great poem!
I'm ready .... and reading these little versus ... getting worked up .... and then expecting a final ... ah, F@#$ Em!!!
BUT
Yoga is in fact training ... it's all about the stretching which is an important ingredient in sport. Cheeze is pretty good as well.
