Stars!

I'm not looking forward to summer; Liam was born in late summer so he knows it, but he's also since experienced a winter. My poor baby. Thank goodness for air conditioning!

The trick to the tahini cookies will be in getting my mother to try them. If I manage that - and she likes them - I will have won big time.

JCU Oy, good luck with that! I imagine my mom would be pretty skeptical of tahini cookies.

Oh I see. Well, just a fair warning in case you are thinking of Yoga Week for that: it’s HARD. And it’s 7 days of strength workouts, that are....HARD.

**sunpetal** · February 5, 2021, 11:54 PM

DorothyMH Ha, thanks for the warning! It does look hard. Actually, all of the other 7 day ones look hard. I think I'll just tiptoe back over to the programs for now.

So wheel pose has forever been the yoga thing I couldn't do, even though I haven't had trouble with other backward bendy movements. I could just never straighten my arms, even with coaching from various yoga instructors, YouTube videos, tutorials and a lot of trying. But I've always figured I would figure it out one day, and today, apparently, was that day. On a whim, I started trying some new YouTube videos, at first with no more success than before. But then some magic happened and I found myself halfway up and so stunned I dropped back to the floor. I tried it again, and boom I was in wheel pose. 😲 I confirmed I could replicate it, and now I have a starting point for improving it.

Never give up trying... Great job with the wheel pose!
