Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is lunch.
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Dealing with my father being very ill, two small children, worrying about my mom, oh and being a wife and having a very disorganized home. I was stressing over things that basically were out of my control. I know you are thinking, she's supposed to be some yoga chick, shouldn't she being focusing on the positive and not ever getting stressed?
Well, truth is, I am human and in fact, after having a in depth conversation about what a yogi is with my cousin (a fellow yoga teacher) I am not a yogi. I just share my passion and love for yoga with others. I don't live in an ashram, I drink the occasional glass of wine and sometimes I have negative thoughts and I eat way too many cookies to ever be called a yogi.
I have a friend that I met through my yoga center that I will probably have for the rest of my life. We don't talk everyday, in fact our friendship is fairly new. Our sons are the same age and they are friends. We schedule play dates and the boys play in the same room ... separately as three year old often do and we just enjoy each others company. We talk about our kids, our hubbys and things we are passionate about in our lives. There is no judgment in our conversation and we don't waste our time talking or judging others we are just simply...friends with no strings . Today, my friend made me lunch during our playdate. Something so simple and basic but was the nicest thing anyone could do for another. Taking the time to prepare it and share it with me really made my day and made me realize all those things I was stressing about will be ok. It also reminded me that I have surrounded myself with good people and for that I am truly thankful.
She made a delish curry by the way stay tuned for my curry recipe coming this week.
