Happy Tofurkey Day.

Happy thanksgiving! Are you giving thanks today? I'm going to be if I can get my hands on a tofurkey. I'm heading over to Market on Millstream in a couple hours with fingers crossed. I thought I was going to have a solo thanksgiving dinner with great self-portrait possibilities but Davis is going to join me so that should be nice. I'm so excited to have company I'm even going to whip up a (vegan) pumpkin pie.

Yesterday was an unexpected adventure day. I went to yoga class with Natalie. It was so great to be moving and connecting with my body and I actually found a lot of the things I usually find annoying about yoga classes really useful for me. (i.e. loopy talk like 'just do whatever move your body is asking you for') I just feel like I've transferred a lot of my stress into my back and neck and releasing it physically helped me work through some of it emotionally. During the final resting pose the instructor talked us through breathing in joy and positivity and releasing any stress or self-judgement on each exhale which usually just leaves me hyperventilating thinking about all the things I'm stressed about but I was really able to just release and rest and felt really great when the class was done. However, when the class was done the power was out in all of Victoria. Natalie and I had been planning on grabbing dinner but all we could find that was open was Safeway so we followed a yoga class up with chips, samosas and oreo cookies. It was still a really fun evening sitting in Natalie's cute little batchelor suite chatting about boys and what she wants to do with her life instead of finishing an English degree.

Today is very gray outside but it snowed about six inches in Regina last night so I'm pretty thankful to be on this beautiful Island. I might even bundle and go for a walk after Tofurkey dinner. This is my thanksgiving song.



Have a wonderful day and week. Speak beautifully, breath deeply and love completely.
