What's for breakfast?

By bedtime each night, I'm looking forward to the next day and my coffee and breakfast. Except that tomorrow I'm going to an 8:30 yoga class so I will not eat breakfast before I go. I got up and walked this morning - man, was it cold.

Went to Sevananda today and went a little crazy with the bulk bins. I bought a bunch of different nuts, peanut butter pretzels for the boys (though Will refused to touch them), whole wheat pastry flour, chicken bouillion powder. I also bought some plain roasted pumpkin seeds and what I swear were labeled "tamari pumpkin seeds" but in the car on the way to Dick's Sporting Goods I put a handful of them in my mouth - HOT!! I sucked down my water and then didn't have any left. HOT!! Sprinkled on my salad tonight, they weren't so painfully hot.

I didn't have any luck at Dick's - I was looking for some yoga shorts with not too high a rise or too long an inseam. Dick's is seriously low on yoga wear. I tried on several things but none worked. I went over to Phipps Plaza intending to buy myself a pair of Dansko closed back clogs in brown, but they didn't have my size. I went down to Nike Town and found the yoga shorts of my dreams. I only bought one pair, because I thought they were a little pricey and I hope to find some online for less. But they are exactly what I wanted.

I'm still waiting on my yoga dvd and book, but I got out one of my other yoga books today and taught myself how to do a sun salutation. I also think I am going to sign myself and Michael up for the parent/child yoga workshop on Saturday afternoon.

I am sloooowwwwllly learning that when I am feeling frazzled, impatient, stressed, overwhelmed etc. if I bring my awareness to RIGHT THEN, I feel much better. Even if my awareness is there only for a second. It's like a magic button that pauses all the things that are stressing me out.
