Buying Green Bananas

Who says I can't buy green bananas?  I'll do more than just that, so there!

The best part is I figured out how to add the photos - so that's pretty cool.  Now I can start taking some pictures while I'm out and about and posting them.  Afterall, now that Bharata went home I have to send him pictures or he won't have anything to paste on facebook!  We can't have that, now can we :-)

It's funny, I get tired, fall asleep and then wake up in a few hours (ready to eat something) feeling pretty refreshed, then eat and go back to sleep.  It seems to be working out well, so I'm not concerned about it, plus since I'm by myself now, I don't have to worry about disturbing anyone.  Although, Bharata sleeps pretty soundly, so I don't think I really disturbed him. 

There was an article about Gentle Yoga for people with chronic diseases in a health magazine at the Cleveland Clinic, so I think I'll give that a try.  I'll let you know how it works.  At this point, I wouldn't consider myself up for doing a full class, but I can handle these 8 postures easily, so should do a good job of releasing tension and relaxing me.  Then it will be back to sleep!  Although, I rather like the sleep part, there's a lot to be said for sleep, it's very restorative.  In fact, I think I will do my postures now.  So I will return in a little bit.  That felt really good, I didn't realize how tight I am, but actually since all this started, I haven't really done much moving about so it's no wonder.  Tomorrow, I'll take a little walk, they suggested I start doing that each day.  In fact, I think I'll do some more pranayama before I go back to sleep.  That will actually help me go back to sleep. 

It's funny in an odd sort of way, the things we need to find balance in our lives!  Obviously, I not one of these people who goes for the suble or easy way.   I guess in looking at all this I'm more of a drama diva or something, because I've definately drawn a rather drastic method of finding balance into my life!  Go figure!  My advice to the rest of you is try meditation instead :-)  But in all honesty, this is something that I needed for whatever reason and I'm just going to go with that.  Somehow this is working for me and I believe I'll come out a stronger better person on the other side of it as long as I continue to embrace it as the gift I'm sure that it is.  My second hope is that somehow by sharing my experiences with all of this, it may just make it easier for someone else out there going through the same thing now or in the future.  Everything that happens to each of us is exactly what we need at the time, just never lose sight of that and it will all be OK, great actually!  On that note, I again will bid you good night, sweet dreams!  See you in the AM, but hopefully not too early!
