Stretch....

I made a wonderful realization last night as I was partaking in a Yoga class. I have been going to the class for about a month now twice a week. I realized that I could once again hold the sole of my foot in my hand and straighten my knee without pain. Yipee! Small achievement for some but wonderful for me. I am so enthused. I had always been able to do this and meagerly tried to get back to it over the last 10 years or so (since kids) with no luck. I was not persistent enough and would make excuses. I am glad that I have made it a point to go twice a week now. I think what really encourages me is the fact that I have had surgery on both heels now and keeping the muscles stretched out is the best way to keep my foot working. I have noticed a big difference. I surprise myself each week as I learn that I can do more and more (sometimes better than others who are are smaller than me in class). Can't wait to see what else I discover.
