Yoga and Guitar (not together)

I am so far from where I want to be, but this last week I made two major steps.  I started yoga, and I bought a guitar.

Yoga:  I have been interested in yoga for years, but found the emphasis on physical fitness off putting.  I wanted to feel serene/peace/joy.  I found a wonderful lady in Rogers Arkansas to help me with that.  And in this financial crisis, I don't have money for classes - she works on donations.  I was worried I couldn't do it, or would feel inferior around others.  She makes me feel so empowered.  I may be new, but I can DO IT. I leave feeling so good.  This is truly a life changing experience.

Guitar.  I have wanted to play guitar my whole life.  My father can play any stringed instrument (or could before arthritis) and seemed to be a natural.  I just found out he was TAUGHT!  It wasn't just "there".  I am making the challenge to myself to learn.  I may never be Aerosmith - but I will learn.  I even made a purchase of a guitar and manual (pawn shop).   With this particular economic crisis at home - I am the only person providing housing for 13 people, maybe this wasn't the best decision -  but if I don't take care of me, who will take care of the other 13 people? I must have an out for stress, and I feel so good about it.

I like just holding it in my hands.  I like feeling potential.  I like hearing what little I can find on it.  It feels positive in my hands. 

So my success is I took two steps I have wanted to for years - yoga and guitar.   Steps I didn't take for fear of failure.  But already it feels good.  Thank you Tools to Life.
