This is meant to be a yin yang sort of character study in appreciation of my husband. B definitely has his “yang” qualities. He is (or used to be) a baseball fanatic. He can be very forward and aggressive when it comes to his interest. Other times he’s quiet and gruff. But he also has his gentler, more sensitive, more “yin” side to him. When I first got to know him I was stunned by the beautiful tapestries hanging in his apartment. They were delicate in a way that was very much in contrast with his video game collection. As I grew to know B he would sometimes surprise me, out of the blue, with sensitivity that was beyond the usual. Lately I have discovered that he also likes my handmade cherry blossom soap. It’s delightfully floral and I’m so glad B can appreciate it.
Many friends and family know that this has not been an easy year for me and I have certainly had my days of feeling sorry for myself. But I’m trying to change that. Could positive energy attract the good? If I change my energy could my problems all of a sudden dissipate? Does like attract like and good attract good? I am not sure but I do know that entering a nurturing atmosphere (the lovely yoga studio) and returning to a diet that my body has always appreciated will bring me joy one way or another. Namaste everyone!
