This morning before I went to the gym I check all my online stuff - email, FB, blogs, internet forums. One of my NYC friends posted his plans for the day on FB - yoga. Big deal, right? Wrong.
I fell in love with B. during our acting classes. He is about ten years younger than I am, blond, thin, and genuinely a kind, affectionate human being. He lost his mom when he was young, and he and his dad never really worked through their grief. He talked about his mom a lot.
Two years ago B. was in a terrible accident and lost both his legs. He had been a dancer and actor. His whole life was chaos and devastation for a very long time. Today was B.'s first time back to yoga since he lost his legs. So courageous!
Today was my first day back to yoga after two years too. My own issues prevented my going to the gym too, but my problems pailed in comparison. What amazing people I met during my years in NYC - like B.!
So, with my friend's struggles in mind, I went to yoga class. Can I just say that it kicked my butt? Ugh, my back is aching something awful. I am terribly out of shape. So sad. I did finish the class though. I can't go back on Thursday because I'll be at the dentist. Of course, I might still be in pain on Thursday!
Ah, back in the saddle.
