I had an interesting day today.

No need to expand on that.  Let’s just think of it as the ‘conditions’ of the experiment.

And, after a two week hiatus (due to the Chef’s Event last week) I was back at yoga today. I’m not sure what the best expletive is for class tonight ~ WTF?!? or Wow!!!

When I rolled up, I knew I needed to hit up the mat.  I didn’t know it would be so tough.  And today’s meditation was a goodun’.  It was the idea that other people’s thoughts of you help you to identify where you are getting stuck ~ it helps you find the path to enlightenment by becoming aware and understanding of your own personal short-comings.

Urgh.  That’s a whole mind-full! (Mine-field? What?  I kid, I kid!).

I have a boat-load on that whole subject, but mostly tonight wasn’t about my ‘interesting’ day at work, or my incredibly challenging yoga class (which, btw, I completely adore, and missed SO MUCH last week ~ urgh, work!).  Tonight was about the very long and intense discussion the man and I had while folding laundry/making dinner.

We talked about life, and careers/jobs, and the fulfillment aspect of whatever it is one is doing for living.  It was thought-provoking, because life isn’t about what other people think equals success ~ life, your own life, should be about what feels like success to you.  It’s a wee bit difficult to articulate exactly the feelings and thoughts we discussed because it was a long and in-depth convo, but I guess the bottom line is this ~ where a person’s priorities lie tend to dictate the course of their life.  As in ~ if following the generally accepted timeline of adulthood is important, then the man and I are woefully behind schedule.  But if that’s not #1 on our list?  Well, then … theoretically, the world is our oyster.

And luckily for us ~ we’re in oyster territory.  Which makes me smile.
