Day Two Hundred Seventeen: Sallisaw, OK

On Monday morning, Jeff and I were looking at our calendars and were shocked and delighted to find that, through some bizarre twist of fate, the coming weekend was wide open. We looked at each other in atonishment, quickly discerned each other's thoughts, and immediately started trying to get a plan together for a weekend getaway. The kids all voted for a KOA, so we literally picked the first place within a reasonable driving distance that had an available cabin to accommodate all of us and booked it. And that is how it is that I came to make my first-ever road trip to Sallisaw, OK.  We arrived just before midnight, so we haven't had a chance to explore yet, but I'm so very happy to be here!

Day One Hundred Eighty: Restorative Yoga

Today's First was a true "Yes, And" experience. There was no premeditating or looking back on my day to see what I did that would "count." It was simply an opportunity that presented itself, which I said "Yes" to. I took Max to try out a kids' yoga class, not knowing that they had a restorative yoga class going on simultaneously. I was sitting on a bench outside Max's class, trying to decide which book to read next, when the restorative teacher came out of her room to get something. She asked if I wanted to join the class, and at first, I declined, citing the fact that I wasn't dressed appropriately for yoga. But then she explained that there was barely any movement at all in the restorative class and that I could wear what I had on with no problem. Knowing that I was going to miss my regular gentle yoga class tomorrow evening, I decided to kick off my shoes and join the class. It was truly restful, and I'm so glad I did it! And, I'm also proud of myself for being spontaneous!
