Now and then we all need to refresh our lives with a new beginning. Autumn is a good time for thinking of doing that. Holidays are maybe over, and we put our minds to focus on our lives at home once again. If the past year has been difficult and things have not gone as you would like them to, then it is a good time to put all that behind you and to try something new.
Instead of seeing
the rug being pulled
from under us
we can learn to dance
on a shifting carpet.

Still here for you! Brenda.

DAYS!
What are days for? is the first line of a poem by Philip Larkin. It puzzled me, this poem and the question it asked, when I first came across it about 35 years ago. I was teaching English to a class of foreign A-level science students, and as English wasn't an exam subject for them, we read poetry! It just came into my mind again this morning. Larkin follows with the answer, "They are to be happy in:" and a further question, "Where can we live but days?"
It seems to me that it is true: we have no option but to make the best of each day as it comes - because it is inevitable that while we are on this planet one day will follow another, and we have to try and be happy each day. About 26 years ago, I found my life path through the days, and that was through Yoga. It is still what keeps me going through life's ups and downs. Through this blogsite I offer my help to anyone who really needs it; and that is to help you to try Yoga - with relaxation, meditation and gentle stretching as the basis. With one-to-one teaching - maybe just for a few classes - I can give you confidence, and then, together, we can find for you a suitable class to meet your own personal needs.
