I am not a quitter anymore!

It is hot here, I don’t like the heat, it is hard, sometimes I have trouble to breathe, I panic when the room is getting too humid, I just want to get out of the room.

I don’t need to lose weight, I am reasonably healthy.  Why am I here?  Am I crazy?  I always ask myself.
Truth to be told, I am a quitter!  Every time I feel the pain, I would choose to quit, just to get out of the pain. I am not a good long distance runner , because I would quit before I reached the pain barrier.  I quit from Business school which I paid for already, because I was in pain, it was lonely, it was a strange place, it was 16 hours flying from my family.

Val told me about YOGA! Yes YOGA!  I QUIT yoga three years ago.  It was hot, it was crazy, it wasn’t for me!

NO! This time I don’t want to be a  quitter, I bought myself a one year membership without taking free classes.

It was my first class, it was 6am, it was dark, I was sleepy, Val was teaching, it was hot, it was crazy!  I started not to like Val anymore, what kind of a friend  would bring  me to this crazy place?!!  Am I coming tomorrow? I was thinking about QUITTING..... It was second class, it was dark, I was still sleepy, Val was teaching, it was still hot, it was still crazy, ummm... It was not that  bad, I am coming tomorrow!
I just completed my 31 days in March! Thanks to all the teachers and all my friends,  I am not a quitter anymore!!!

Thank you Val for bringing me to Yoga, Thank you Allison for making  me in love with yoga, Thank you Jen for the gentle encouragement! Thank you Rea for the inspiration in my life!  Thank you all my friends for the support and sharing energy with me.
