Feeling Cheerful

I have been really, really happy these days and it seems to be manifesting itself in my latest creations. I've been using bright, cheerful colors in all of my work! 

For the last year or so, I have been quite conscious about what I eat and the foods I prepare for my family. It wasn't until the last month or so, though, that I started to become more active. In high school I was an athlete, but in the past six years I have done very little (an understatement) to stay in shape. 

Yoga is a very new discovery for me, and I am loving it. I have seen my flexibility and strength improve significantly in only five weeks. I forgot what a mood booster exercise is, and I love having that feeling back in my life. I don't know why it has taken me so long to get active again, but I'm confident that I will stick with yoga. I'm finding that the benefits of the practice reach so far beyond the physical...

Happy Monday, everyone!
