First day of our weekend!
Oh how we love Sundays! Deb has chosen the Namaste-in-bed approach where as i decided to go for the morning Yoga, where I got totally attacked with love and distraction by wonderful Walter Whippet
I gracefully gave in with my Yoga practice and gave the boy some loving back! After all, Sunday is for the fambam right!
HAPPY SUNDAY YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! 😍💑🐕🐕💚💖💕💞
Yasss!
Welcome to December! ❄⛄
Such a lovey time of the year, call me crazy but I always loved the hustle and bustle of December! Especially when we had our family 👩👩👦👦 shop, which, in its time, turned out to be one of the most popular in the town!
It was something special when all the family worked together as a team to serve customers as efficiently as possible! 👛🛍
That feeling when you’ve queued in the shops on black Friday 🛍, you trawled the internet for the best deal on Cyber Monday 💻, when you can’t decide whether to treat yourself to a fresh Christmas tree 🎄 and then like every year – decide that you could actually spend that money on the food instead 🍽 and you get the artificial tree out of the loft.
Next, you sit for an hour or more untangling the lights 💡 for the tree!
Static shocks ⚡️whenever you touch anything after handling all the tinsel, that you eventually threw on your tree 🎄
Try not to get stressed 😠 when you end up sticking all your fingers together, as you bravely start wrapping the presents ready🎁 for Santa’s 🎅 elves to collect. You’ve made it this far with your sanity intact, keep it that way just a little longer!
Lets skip through any more dramas that may try to own you and fast forward to sitting with the family 👩👩👧👦, surrounded by all that wrapping papehandd invisible sticky tape that got tree so stressed 😡. Now it lies on the floor, torn and screwed up! You got your own back on it! You eventually won that war! 💪
Laughter and love 💗 all around you as you sit at the table with your loved ones, a glass of your favourite beverage in your hand 🍷 and the bottle 🍾 at your side! Take a breath and feel proud! 👌
Enjoy this time, don’t let the madness of this month ruin the best time that is still to come!
Happy December everyone! 🙏💚
I’m not one to enjoy sitting around doing nothing!
When you have MS and an infection, doing nothing really is the best we can do!
What I really want to do though is go to my Yoga class as I normally do with Louise my Yoga teacher!
Re post the meme from @oilohanamalas words are my own…
Sunday!… Yoga Workshop with @louiseavilesyoga & @zoziee73
and it’s my very first one! Excited much!
🤗🙆🙏🦄
Pranayama & meditation! 11:30, let the learning commence!
Baby its cold outside! 🎶
Time to shake my asana in the first yoga class since being back from Barcelona!
It really is cold outside! That’s called commitment!
1-1 Yoga!
Today I will try to remember that where ever I get to in my practice is ok!
I will remember that not only have I completely stopped one of my MS nerve pain meds but I have also halved the main one as well!
Today I will remember not to be hard on myself because this is going to hurt & there’s a reason for it!
I have to overcome the pain and not let it overcome me! I am in charge of own thoughts!
It is with my mind and the breath alone that will get me through this!
As with all my blogs please feel free to share using the options at the end of this blog.
Any comments are also always welcome!
Thanks, Vix
Last Friday my Mummy (Jill Edwards) came from Cyprus for a visit.
Mummies are the best friends anyone could have!
I’ve loved sharing my two passions that is Yoga & Pilates, when she came with me on Tuesday evening to @louiseavilesyoga yoga class and then Friday, when she not only came with me to Kate Pilates class but the three of us went for a lovely meal after!
I also loved taking my Mummy to the Cinema for her birthday treat to watch the new Bridget Jones movie! 🎬
I love my Mummy because she brought us a ‘cakeaway’ for our dessert today after our Sunday meal at a local carvery!
I also love my Mummy because she couldn’t manage all of her cake at lunch, so I cut it in half tonight and Deb & I just ate it for her!
🍰🍴
Have a safe journey home Mummy! Love you so much!
I need to keep reminding myself of this every time I practice!
Today, for the first time, I actually felt like walking out of the group class before it finished!
Just feel a bit like, whats the point, I can’t step back to plank from sun salute, I can’t take a giant step from down dog to front of mat! I can’t can’t even stand up into warrior! 6 months & I can’t do those things! 😠😡😵
Hang on a minute Victoria! What about all the things you CAN do now that you couldn’t do 6 months ago!???
Yeah, just think about that then hey! 🤔
REVERSE WARRIOR POSE
‘VIPARITA VIRABHADRASANA’
BENEFITS
Reverse Warrior Pose is a variation of Warrior II pose with many benefits:
• Strengthens the quads, arms and neck
• Stretches the groins, hips and obliques
• Opens the chest and shoulders
• Increases self esteem and perseverance
“Opening the heart has physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits. Rounded shoulders and a hunched spine are typically associated as the posture of someone who is less confident, timid, fearful or possibly depressed”
Beautiful personal yoga practise this morning with it finishing with a wonderful feeling of euphoria!
I love it when things come together!
Think my mantra of ‘being patient’ is paying off!
Productive day! 2 loads of washing done and dried, fell asleep this afternoon and then dinner cooked ready to be re-heated and eaten after Yoga!
Not beating myself up about the unplanned sleep, getting better at allowing myself the rest when I need it!
Seriously looking forward to Yoga tonight with @louiseavilesyoga
Living life the MegaSpecial way!
