Happy Spring! I am thankful for the change in the weather. Truly, I am. I can walk whenever I choose to and have been trying to walk more frequently. The allergies that accompany it are not welcome or desirable.
I have been sporting my glasses for the last week. Sneezing all week, congested and feeling foggy. I am unable to wear my contacts or even attempt to wear them. Flonase is sort of working but not really. I realize, from experience, that claritin and zyrtec are ineffective for the spring allergies. And now, it seems that I will be looking for a replacement for flonase. At some point, I would enjoy wearing my contacts again.
One of my clients suggested trying a homeopathic approach. I tried that when I first experienced allergies. They did not work. Only prolonged the inevitable that I would be purchasing some over the counter medication. I wish I could avoid taking any allergy medication, but I cannot. I must buy something for relief.
Yoga has been great, and I am hopeful for more opportunities. Here and in Santa Fe. The season compels outdoor yoga. We have been able to practice on Saturday mornings at City Park. It is intermittent as it is Colorado. March and April both present possibility of snow. This Saturday is overcast and about 25 degrees cooler than today. Still, I intend to host a session at 17th and Fillmore.
Last year, I hosted park yoga in Santa Fe. We tried out a few parks and I am hopeful that Rose Park will be just as accommodating. Donation based yoga is a great way to check out a class and meet people. I like the opportunity to build community in both places.
I even have a space to work out of moving forward. 28th and Madison a little north of City Park. New year. New space.
Working for yourself is challenging. Daily, there are distractions. Lunches with friends, procrastination, trying to do too many things at once. Still, I am committed to making it work and expanding. There is a constant ebb and flow. I cannot get upset. I can only continue to offer classes, host opportunities and meet people. Or admit defeat and return to working for someone else. Which isn't an option. I do not intend to pursue that option. I want to stay the course.
I know that I need to be focusing more on blogging, too. Tomorrow is a new day, and I will do better.
