Yoga Love: A New Year

   Happy New Year Everyone!! As cliche as it may be to say, time flies when you are having fun or in graduate school praying that you graduate on time. Thank heavens I did graduate on time and debt free. To all students still undergoing the struggle, may the odds be ever in your favor.

   
                                                                                

   For the next month I am participating in two different yoga challenges that are being hosted by various yogis on Instagram. These daily postings help to get me back in the habit of a daily yoga routine. It is far too easy to hibernate all winter long in my cozy bed instead of hitting the gym and yoga mat. Thankfully, a dear friend of mine and I have started lifting together and practicing Tae Kwon Do again. Flipping tires in 45 degree weather is much more bearable when you have a buddy who is working their ass off right along side you. 

    It has been a year since my cadaver ACL transplant and my knee just keeps getting better and better. Dr. Cochran gave me the gift of a second chance and I intend to lead a very active and joy filled life. Squats, running, jumping, etc. are so much easier and pain free now thanks to my cadaver ACL. It was a year of hardships, pain, and a wonderful recovery. Cheers to the road ahead!

Happy New Year

    Oh sweet baby Jesus it is 2014! A new year brings new possibilities and new adventures for me and my darling husband. Our new year's eve was pretty tame compared to some of my wild and crazy friends. Yesterday was my brother in law Mark's 21st birthday or as I called it Happy Drinking Way Too Much Day. Dinner, alcohol, cake, more alcohol, movie time, and of course a drink to toast the new year. I learned last night that I'm the only person in my extended family that drinks scotch. This means that either I look fantastic for being 65 years old or that I'm simply more awesome than most people. It was a great night with family, food, and of course alcohol. Happy New Year Everyone!!
