poor neglected blog....

My poor neglected blog.  Life has a way of getting away on a person, and sadly things like personal blogs realize the effects.

Life is good.  RYT-200 has been completed and I am now a full member of the Canadian Yoga Alliance and looking forward to teaching some more classes.

I have accepted my offer of admission to complete my master's degree, starting in November.  Exciting and daunting at the same time.

My move to my new digs is complete, and I love my new home!  Durham is a lovely little town, and Finn, Allistair and I are very happy with the new house.  Missing my kiddos, but the boys are off to post-secondary school life, and the girl is starting her adult life anew.  We all are happy and well.

Interpersonal relationships flourish, and I'm in a good place.  Life is good.  I get frustrated with others, but I'm (still) learning to manage my reactions.  I'm also working on not trying to be everything to everybody, or protecting the feelings of others at the detriment of my own.  It's a process.  And people are a little shocked when they find out Pollyanna has sharp claws from time to time :)

Not taking the complete asshat-ishness (I claim creative license...writers get to make up words on an as needed basis!) of others personally continues to be a struggle, but everyone has their own stuff.  I don't need to take ownership of the issues of others.  I have enough of my own to work through.  Sorry, you're on your own!

And ultimately, the past year has taught me that I have great friends, great family and a wonderful support network to lean on when I need them.  For that I am eternally grateful.  It also makes the odd asshat easier with which to cope.

I hope if you're in my local area, you get in touch and drop by for a visit and to see the new digs.  There's always wine and beer cold in the fridge!
