Every time i come home from a bit of a trip, i have the hardest time getting out of bed to go to work the next day. Its like i've become this lead weight with no motivation for working. i guess my body and brain just like holiday mode too much really. So i am back at work today from a bit of a jaunt to our nations capital, and it's going ok, i managed to drag out of bed....later than i wanted to...but so far the day is not too busy. thing is, i can't help but find myself drifting to where i'm heading next.....

my boys!

Is this not the cutest fish face you've ever seen???? this is dwight. He belongs to me and my friend Nicole, who for lack of anything better to do decided to look at the animals in petland and came out with a fish!

This is Dwights home and his friend Willis. Willis was bought for company, but he's a bit of a bully....probably becuase dwight looks like a bit of a nerd, but geeks are cool so i must teach dwight how to stand up for himself so he gets his share of the meals. These fish are also, for me, a tribute to James, my "miracle" fish who i supposedly did everything wrong with in taking care of him, but he lived!! I'm thinking he is still alive and happy with Richard in New Zealand. Fish are amazingly uplifting pets. they make me happy. doesn't take much....:)

ponderings...

Sometimes you only see how far you've come by observing somebody else in a situation you used to be in. This feels good knowing you've progressed, advance, learned....become more confident, and can be in a place where you can be an example to others because of your experience. hmmmm...this could have Christian life principles written all over it, but i'm referring to pilates. I've been instructing for almost two years and still feel pretty new sometimes, but today i had a lady, just in the process of taking her training, observe my class and all she had was high praise for my skill. This made me feel good (if i'm totally honest) and made me realize maybe i'm not still so "new" as i thought...maybe i have learnt a lot and become a better instructor and maybe am actually helping these women with their fitness in some way! Maybe i'm the best pilates instRUCTOR IN THE WORLD!!!!

....ok i wont go that far, but at least some people like my teaching.
