Today, Captain Sensitive will be played by yours truly. Yes, I played that role last night at my monthly victim advocate meeting. We have 2 new volunteers so we all went around the room introducing ourselves and telling the new peeps tips or something we have learned as advocates. It got to be my turn so what do I say? "Just be yourself and remember: you can't screw them (the victims) up more than they are already." Yeah, the staff was a bit taken aback muttering things about being "politically correct" and everyone laughed after the initial shock wore off, but not the most tactful. Oh well, at least I am honest, right?
On to the Great Yoga Conspiracy. Yoga never fails to show me yet another area where I am totally inadequate. Today we did balance and guess what, I don't have it. Maybe it is because I don't have my core-strength built up. Maybe it is because I am not very flexible; maybe it is because it is 6:15 AM...Surprisingly, I am not totally discouraged. Anyone who thinks yoga is some how wimpy or not a real work-out can bite me. It is a conspiracy - not what it appears; it kicks one's behind and I don't think it matters how good of shape you are in; this whole zen/relaxation thing you think yoga is, not so much my experience. Here I am thinking, "ah, it's yoga day, not spinning so it is my relaxing day..." Hhhhhhhaaaaa! I have accepted my inner failure as a yoga student. I have accepted I am amateur, at best. But hey, at least I go.
