Y - O - G- A - a day in the life of responsibility

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.
