a different kind of year in review

After reading through random pages in my practice journal from the past 12+ months, I have come to realize  a few things about my practice:

• I am always sore.
• Alignment is first and foremost on my mind.
• I have less of a tendency to measure my own progress by watching those around me.
• I no longer feel unimportant if I don’t get assisted in my practice.
• One eye in; one eye out is not impossible.
• Laziness is in the eye of the critic; I work hard and then bash myself for not working harder.
• Although I still cannot jump through or jump back, I have indeed made progress.
• No matter how sore I am, yoga always makes me feel better.
