grateful

today was a day worthy of much gratitude.

went to tataya's yoga again... while my soul is deepened, and i get in greater touch with my source through my practice with liz, it's really nice to be so challenged with tataya. it's great to be among a group of younger people being challenged to our physical limits in a way we enjoy. it's not always fun being head of the class... got to have people (besides the teacher) who push me... june will be a test month of my yoga journey. i'll stay at five willows and will continue going to tataya and thomas' studio to see where my journey will take me... will be a great fitness summer as i prepare for motherhood and amy's party... also, so good for my balance.

met with my old, dear friend kelly today. was really nice to see her. our paths may be crossing further with phd's in english, the program that first brought us together. while i wasn't sure where our meeting would take us, i'm glad that it showed us how we've both grown. i feel happy in her happiness and thriving. it's good to hear the people in her life are doing well and growing, too. she is an inspiration in many ways. good to connect with people i love. more coffee, bike riding, and books could await us.

last night got to connect with jen! she's here from france for her grandmother's funeral. while the circumstances are sad, it's been so good to see her beyond facebook and gmail. it's good to see how well her life is going in france with claude. seems like a rich life. i'm happy for her, though it's odd (and good for her) that she'll probably be staying there.

and then of course zulaika and i are enjoying each other while she's here! went to see her after kelly and had a grand time letting loose with her. it's really good to feel comfortable and safe with a person. even though she's probably moving to san francisco. we've been good supporters and stabilizers and inspirations for one another! i know we will always be connected. will see her in august if she goes... will be a great chance to see cindy, amy, and the rest of the gang, too!

off to eat and romantic comedize with clint!
