Yin and yang

So I had my first really sour morning since I've been here.  I went to two of my dance classes today giving probably 25% energy.  My feet were hurting and the blisters that have been on my toes since the previous week weren't feeling any better.  Needless to say, I was in a little bit of a funk and realized that maybe it was because I had skipped my morning meditations since I was running a little behind on schedule.  I honestly haven't been meditating long enough to clearly know if that was why I was in such a mood... but if the art of meditation is as powerful as majority of folks who do it claim, then it might be - which is a pretty cool thing to experience (how different a day can be without giving just a few moments to be still).  In any case, I tried to carry on by accepting what I was feeling and letting it pass.

Later that night, I went over to Take's house to hang with him and his girlfriend, Jessica, for dinner.  I  haven't seen Take in legit 5 years since my days at LinkedIn where we first met, so when he reached out via FB to reconnect given I'm in Hawai'i, I was glad.  I had known he had moved his life here to the islands so it was nice catching up on all the differences between good ol' Silicon Valley and how drastically it differs from the local life here in Hawai'i.  After a few glasses of wine and some bomb carnitas tacos (wraps) that Take and Jessica had cooked up, I was feeling a nice buzz and definitely grateful for people who are so easy to talk to no matter how little (Jessica) or how long (Take) its been.
