Dear Waves and Bobby,

I'm practicing not putting pressure on myself -- no more climbing mountains simply because I should.
But then what next?

From my bedroom window (2nd floor apt.) I watched two teenagers practice skateboarding today.

They stunk. They were practicing the early but important move of jumping off the boad and landing back on it. After a while they got in the car and drove off. I only watched because I was trying to identify the sound of the skateboard dropping onto the asphalt.
Too many sounds here, I'm telling you.

I guess I am going to keep trying. Although I'm not sure what I am supposed to try for, I am learning that I can try while still being easy on myself.

Yoga teaches this very well. One can still get the full benefit of the stretch even if she is abysmally inadequate in the execution of it.
I know this because I went to yoga class last night. This I know.
