A Really Good Day

Yesterday was a really good day.  No amount of stress could have ruined the good day I was having.  My alarm went off at 5AM.  On normal days, I would have laid in bed for another hour before really starting my day.  However, like last week I signed up for the 5:45AM hot yoga class at the studio I go to. 

The class was a bit smaller than last week (I don’t know why because it was a bright and sunny day!) but I had such an amazing time.  Our instructor started the class like usual with reminding us to set a personal intention for the class that day – whether it’s just letting myself think about nothing but the class, focusing on my breath, or any other number of things. 

She then read a quote that she wanted us to remember throughout the class. She brought up sections of it as the class was progressing.  It stuck with me so much that I posted about it on facebook and now here on the blog.

I’m planning on finding a high-res version of that quote someplace online, printing it out and placing it in a picture frame in our home.  I like it THAT much. 

After having a great class, I came home, showered, got dressed and headed to Whole Foods for a quick breakfast before work.  When I got there I realized that they had my favorite oatmeal of all time – the tropical oats!  As I was standing at the breakfast buffet scooping out my delicious meal, an older woman and her daughter (probably about my age) started up a conversation with me.  It was such a simple conversation about my preference in oatmeal, what was good, and what toppings I preferred, but they were having a good day too and it continued to put me in a good mood. 

Once I got to work, no matter what the world through back at me I wasn’t going to let it ruin my good day.  Lesson Learned:  I need more yoga classes in my life.
