Following Prana's lead, I have started reading Yoga and the Quest for the True Self by Stephen Cope.

I am just getting into this book but it already has me thinking on a deeper scale. And it has me thinking about the mat a little more. Things have been super busy lately, not to mention the little one is getting around! 

I am sure that these excuses have no place here since I am sure I could have found at least 15 minutes here or there to practice. Sometimes the setting just isn't right. I stayed at my sister's house the night before the wedding and I just didn't feel comfortable sticking my butt up in the air - let alone ujjayi (sp?) breathing - in front of everyone.

Yoga probably could've helped me some. I have been battling a head cold since the day after the wedding. My body is funny like that. Once the dust settles, my body decides it's tired of warding off sickness. The same thing use to happen whenever I came home from college. I wouldn't be home a whole day and suddenly, I'd have a full blown fever, complete with shakes and cold sweats.  Now that I think of it, the same thing use to happen over Christmas break when I was younger... must be my body's way of dealing.

Even now, I feel foggy. I'm almost out of the Sicky Woods and when I am I'll be back... hopefully, with more appealing posts.  ;)
