Y - Yawn
O - Ouch, I've got to get up, it's 5 am
G - Gargle, yes, headed to the gym
A - Ahhh, made it to my car
Hello, you've met the day. Most people wonder why I get up so darn early. I love mornings. Crazy? Maybe, but it is so nice to get up and get my day started. I love the quiet time, I enjoy the peace. It's like a yoga class.
Namaste.
If I'm not meeting my trainer, I entertain myself by doing cardio. I am a bit ADD so I bring my iTunes or a set of headphones to watch the TV on the machine. I enjoy the KREM team in the morning. Mostly, Laura and Grace. They are a bit kooky like I am. I can say that about Laura because she is a good friend of mine; Grace, I don't know but she is guilty by association.
I get to work by 8 am. Lunch at noon. This day I have lunch at Noodle Express on Sullivan. It may be the best little fast food restaurant ever. Yes, tofu osaka bowl with a bit of ginger sauce - a new little fancy delight suggested by a good friend. I get it with brown rice. Quite delicious.
After several meetings, I head to my car at 5 pm.
It's called work-life balance. I am quite content with my yoga inspired life. I breathe often during the day. Enjoy my surroundings. I am grateful for my place and smile and laugh often. I like to play Scrabble on my iPhone with friends and check in with my family.
In fact, this morning when I was buying chocolate for the workplace, I laughed thinking about throwing oranges in the grocery store with a friend who would reciprocate. Having fun and enjoying life is the yoga way.
Y - Youthful
O - On top of the world
G - Ginger, my new found friend
A - Always positive
Believe me, there are bad days but sometimes you've got to stop and laugh. Have lunch with a friend. Get a mani/pedi after work (even boys should do this). Volunteer for a non profit. Play simulator golf in a two-person scramble to get ready for outdoor golf and...
Just be.
