Finding Your joy through the Holidays- One down, one to go

Well, we made it through Thanksgiving! It was a great day. We went to Paige's for dinner at noon. She and Jared hosted a beautiful dinner with all of the fixings. We left there and stopped in to see Mark's family at his brother Cory's. They had a lovely time as well. Then we headed home to watch the end of the Bills game!
Today, was my birthday. The weather didn't cooperate, but I had a spectacular day. Paige, Jared, Nate, my mom and dad, Mark and I all went to breakfast. Then I went to the Yoga studio where I was able to share a restorative yoga practice with a few friends.
About a year and a half ago, I began taking private yoga sessions with Danielle at Blue Sky Wellness in Springville. I have learned soooooo much about myself, my body, and how to use my breath to regulate many situations. I have completely come off of all of my blood pressure meds in the time I've been practicing, and I can do restorative yoga even with my neuropathy issues. I've had a few friends inquire about how yoga has helped me, so for my birthday I invited a few of them to try it. Most of them had not tried yoga before because they were too nervous and didn't know what to expect. We had a great time and I think I turned a few of them on to restorative yoga!

Tomorrow it's back to work for 15 school days. Most of my shopping is done, I have my meal plan and grocery shopping done for the week, and I'm ready to deal with the next holiday.

I love Christmas! It will look a little different this year as the kids plans are changing. So, we are going to do some new and different things this year and it's ok. Also, I need to make sure Mark is able to navigate the holiday with the changes. So, here we go.
