Once again I am reminded to be grateful for what I have, for I never know when something that I take for granted will suddenly be gone. In a yoga class this week, I was struggling to balance on my left foot in the tree pose. Attempting to balance, my weak left side wobbled and I had to compromise the pose. I was reminded of the car accident I endured over 2 years ago that left me injured on the left side of my body. I never really thought about how important being able to balance is until that ability was gone. Now I am consciously working to strengthen my muscles on the left side of my body and come back into a state of balance. How quickly life can change … and the simple things we take for granted become our great gifts. I am so very thankful to be able to do yoga now and to work out in a gym, even with my temporary limitations. Life teaches me that what is important is not what was, but what is and to develop my potential for what can be.
