"On lessons learned-Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped."-Author Unknown Which path to take? Some where along this wonderful path of self-discovery and growth, we may discover we are hauling around some old habits from our past that are slowing or outright impeding our progress. Many times the habits are a source of immediate comfort, but in the long run they really serve no purpose in our lives other than to hold us back or slow us down....

Yoga Definition from an Unknown 4 year old-'You breathe in and out and start doing slow karate.' Honestly, that's basically what I thought yoga was too. I arrived late in my fitness career to the yoga game. And quite by accident. Sometimes when a door opens, its a good idea to walk through it. Here's my story of how I fell into a yoga class/practice, the benefits I have discovered, and why yoga is a darn fine idea....

Ready to dig those fingers into some dirt? Get an early start on your summer garden? Eat some ultra fresh food? I know I am. Seeds in hand, soil is purchased, deck planters dusted off, Miracle Grow on the ready. Spring container gardens are super easy to manage and work in almost all full sun outside spaces. The containers are portable, so if, for whatever reason, the temps plummet below the mid 20's, as they tend to do occasionally in March, you can tote the containers into the garage (not the house, too warm!) or cover them with an old blanket to keep them from getting frostbite....

"Promise is a big word. It either makes something or breaks everything."-author unknown Promise is a huge word, and a huge responsibility. When we state a promise, it's nearly a vow. We all, at this stage of the game, hopefully, are pretty good at keeping the promises we make to others. We certainly hope that other people keep their promises to us, and, if we are lucky, most people, including ourselves, do follow through when a promise is made to another person....

Time to put the fun back in fitness!

Harvest from my deck/container garden continues. Think I will enjoy these with some grilled salmon after yoga class tonight.

Harvesting the seeds from my spring baby spinach crop. Spinach is a cool weather crop , so I may grow attempt another batch in the fall with these. Never know til ya try!

If this is you, I can help! Six weeks to 60 for me. I can still hop on up.

There is just something about growing your own food. Good for the mind, body, and soul. Even if it's only a patio container, there is so much you can grow. Tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash, and cukes are growing in my large pots. I also love the containers that sit on my deck rails. Perfect for herbs and baby greens. Fresh salad every couple days. Yums. Fun. Relaxing. Great learning experience for the kiddos too. No wonder my gramps loved farming so much, it gets into your soul. Give it a try!
