Game On

I'm feeling fantastic! 

My new twice-a-day lower-back yoga practice is working wonders. I recommend this video to everyone looking for a relaxing flow routine that leaves room to be as challenging as you wish; and I ESPECIALLY recommend this to anyone rehabbing back pain or stiffness. I also recommend all the amazing health-based content on the psychetruth youtube channel




The first two times I did this it was a bit sloppy, but on the third go around I fell into a trance like flow that mixed equal parts strength, flexibility through the spine and deep relaxing thoughts. It was 20-minutes of the best yoga I've ever done in my short yogi-life. 

Last night was a fun night out of the house. I met a few friends for drinks, Diane went out to the city with her cousin for drinks and Logan had a sleepover with his Grandparents. Everyone getting out on their own was very cathartic. The winter season is tough, you coast through the beginning thanks to the holidays  and time off from work, but from January 2nd to today this family of three has been bunking down in the basement watching tv. We really needed to break away, breath some fresh air and expose ourselves to some new environments with a sense of social-independence.

Tonight will be another but different act of catharsis, the decision to watch "Game of Thrones: Season 2". We had this anxiety about watching this since we have not read book 2 yet; but reading time is a hot commodity and I figured why not use that time to read books that haven't been turned into a big budget television drama. We are excited to get back into that rich fantasy universe. Time to light a fire, dim the lights and watch people do horrible things in the pursuit of power.
