Day 6

I felt proud of myself making it to another session of Hot Yoga. Although I vow next time to arrive earlier. If you are a late comer, you have to endure the "looks" from others as they reluctantly move their mats to make way for you. I was wedged between a newcomer and a veteran yogi. I felt guilty that they had to move, but luckily I wasn't the last person to arrive. In fact, four people came after me. They got the "glare".

I don't remember much about today's practice, except that when I got up to roll up my mat the yoga newbie pointed to the floor and asked, "Is that my sweat or yours?"  I claimed the sweat. I was proud of it.

To encourage the Yoga participants of the 20 in 30 challenge, the owner posted all of our names on a giant poster board. After each name are twenty squares. When you have completed a session, you get to place a sticker in the square. It's like kindergarten. I look forward to putting my stickers up each day. I have two dolphins and one butterfly sticker.

Driving home I felt a sense of accomplishment until I noticed a low rider bicycle going down the main road to my house. I knew immediately it was a man who rode a lot around town. I don't know if he was born without the use of his legs or if it was caused by an accident. I only knew that my small achievement- my challenge- was small indeed.

Here's to overcoming all challenges, both the large and the small.
