The Morning After

Not so bad sleeping, baby woke up a few times, just needed a pacifier again.  Eli Tzvi, Thank God, sleeps like a log.  Ziona Sofia woke up a few times with her covers off, and luckily "LET" me go back to my bed.  We have early mornings in this house, baby usually sleeps longer, but 5am he was raring to go.  Then Eli Tzvi came along right after, so we just hung in my bed for a bit.  It's 6:30am now, kids are playing all together while the Kasha is cooking :)

My husband is in good spirits, and its Friday, so today is all about getting ready for Shabbat.  We are so blessed to have this tradition, we prepare everything so on the Day of Rest we do absolutely nothing.

We are having guests tonight, so my husband is going all out, he is such a talent in the kitchen, I am so blessed.  Hopefully I can enjoy my meal tonight, I am finally focusing on my teeth after kids, they really took a beating.  So I am in between, started the work yesterday, Thank God for my Herbalife Shakes to keep me full and give me a complete easy meal, chewing is not so easy right now.

Speaking of "the in between" stages of life, it's the in between that is a challenge.  When we are happy and satisfied, its all good.  When we are unhappy, we focus on change, and doing something about it, and sometimes those are the best times, because the results make us even happier.  But the in between is just that, now that I am in between my not so good teeth and my fabulous teeth, I just have to deal until my next appointment.  It's just like in Yoga, during a pose it is so important to find where it feels best, and just feel it, our brain doesn't want to stop and feel, it wants to push, compare, and compete. 

Luckily our whole Day of Rest is about just accepting and celebrating what is, not creating anything new, not doing anything about anything.  Just appreciating all the good, and focusing on nurturing what we already have.

This day puts everything in perspective,
We need to take a break, or we will break,
Fully enjoy your Breaks from life,
Think of Nothing, Feel Everything
(This is the wonderful words of my
Yoga teacher, Raghavan, at the end of
class during our relaxation)
Yoga is like a mini Shabbat,
How do you disconnect and recharge?
Shabbat Shalom,
Coach Yulia
These are my kids bright and early, ready to spring into life, 6:30am!
