Gentlemen,
I’ve got a brand new computer and it’s loaded with up to date programs. I’ve revamped the web site and am using a new email program. However, along with the ease of a new and fast computer, I’m confounded by a machine that does all sorts of things I don’t actually want it to do! It has been a fount of frustration. Plus, I’m spending way too much time online again.
So, I’m a Luddite, right? Technology is baaaad. No. I practice and teach Yoga. Continue reading
Gentlemen,
It’s a new year and after two weeks off, we start back up with classes the second week of January. Days and times remain the same, but I’ll repeat it here: Men’s Yoga on Mondays, 5:30-6:30pm and Senior Men’s Yoga on Wednesdays, 2:30-3:30pm.
I read a story recently about a women who talked of taking up the piano again. She enjoyed playing as teen, didn’t mind the practice. But she kept putting it off.
In her 20s, she was wrapped up with her career.
In her 30s, it was marriage, work and family.
In her 40s, she bought a piano for her son to play.
But she always put it off for herself until one day, it caught up with her, and a little voice spoke up…
“When?”
She decided to “commit to 15 minutes a day and see what happens.”
What she discovered was that she ended up practicing for longer than that most days, often 45 minutes to an hour. And, she said, she couldn’t really tell you what she had set aside in order to play the piano.
“I seem to get as much done as before.”
“There had always been time; I just hadn’t known it was there.”
See you in class!

Update 01/02/2014 : Barbara Shelly, who wrote the original article about finding the time and taking up the piano again wrote a follow up column a year later; Life seems much richer when ‘later’ becomes now.
