Hello,
I have had just two participants at my
yoga sessions. We had gotten along splendidly and settled into a routine.
Luckily my boss told me that two more people signed up and would be coming to
this week’s practice so I prepared accordingly. A woman called and asked if she
could bring her two children. After some discussion I decided that would be ok.
Before I started class there were a total of eight participants. So that number
included three walk-ins. Even though this room held 170 for a program it was
full with the nine of us spread out on the floor. I know of one more person who
tells me that she will be coming in the near future.
Those five and seven year old children
were so good that I mostly forgot they were in the room. Before we started,
their mother told them, “You cannot talk unless there is blood.” Somehow I
suspect the threat was unnecessary.
I did not know how these new people would
manage as five of them had never done any yoga and a couple had bad knees. One new
woman goes to yoga quite regularly. This is stretching my leading ability. But one
woman told me I did a good job and three of them asked if we could meet more
than once a week. My boss and I are talking about how to make that possible so
that I would not have to drive an additional time. I do not mind volunteering,
but I am unwilling to pay for the gas. Flexibility, flexibility!
Leroy decided it was his turn to get
the collage and take it to work. He passed it at a staff meeting. One other
staff person said, “I object to the title as these are not necessarily the best
kids. My grandchildren are the best kids.” I had made the title “The Best Kids”.
Leroy said, “I do not take the blame for that as my wife did it.” I still think
they are the best kids. Would I think more or less of them if they were closer
and I saw them frequently?
