("Prayer Wasn't Enough). It's taken me back to childhood and growing up and taking decades to mature into a woman who values herself--most of the time. But remembering the long span of 86 years has also taken me into some memories about things I did or didn't do. I have not found friends, family members, colleagues that I need to forgive. No. What I have found is the realization that I must forgive myself for hurting others. Mostly, I think, unintentionally, but the bruising was there. So I am using meditation time and yoga time and prayer time and simply "being" time to let the honey of forgiveness seep into my heart and mind and soul. By the way, this paragraph was only possible because of the one you wrote.<br /><br />Oh, and on my blog you left a comment saying you had figured out how to "sign in with google." Pease, Molly, would you let me know how to do that? My e-mail address is on my blog site when you click that link there about more about the author or something. I hope this works.<br /><br />Peace Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-58003888069189205812022-09-24T17:20:13.291-04:002022-09-24T17:20:13.291-04:00How depressing! - I assumed that you'd been yo...How depressing! - I assumed that you'd been yoga-ing since you could toddle. Which is why I've seen film of you doing things that I couldn't possibly have done in my peak of physical flexibility (I've always been stiff. And cautious.) Well, some of us are not born to bend. <br /><br />I too loved almost all the books you mention. I must reread Middlemarch - don't think I've read it since, um, 1971, but I still remember Dorothea and the ghastly Casaubon and the awful Rosamund et al. I've never read (or seen, come to that) Gone with the Wind, though.

Then the instructor left the gym and nothing else was convenient (because of my work schedule). Then I planned to start back with her when I retired, but she had a stroke the same week I retired (!!!). So, it was another year's delay while she recovered (which, thanks to her lifetime of yoga, she has almost fully recovered). Last year, I started her classes again, but they are far away, and I'm thinking when she resumes from her summer break, I might not re-join. I will miss them terribly, but .... I've been meaning to look up yoga on youtube for ages, but don't really relish the trial-and-error of finding one I like, so I keep putting it off. Happily accepting recommendations from Miss Molly!!!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809008266578798843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-20628922025655229422022-08-25T14:47:36.133-04:002022-08-25T14:47:36.133-04:00WWW - Maybe you could manage yoga in a chair?

Any little bit might help you to feel better - good luck!<br /><br />SK - that's not usually in my vocabulary - it just came out of nowhere!<br /><br />EC - You underestimate yourself. Anyone who gardens like you do has to be a bit more flexible than a brick!<br /><br />Colette I'm tryin'!<br /><br />mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-47519431571517032012022-08-25T08:27:37.944-04:002022-08-25T08:27:37.944-04:00Lovely post!
