Gratitude for this life


Sunday, June 6
London
We took a 9:15 yoga class at our new yoga studio this morning.  The instructor ended our practice by saying “It is a privilege to live this life, to breathe this air and to inhabit this body.  It’s an honor to enjoy our home, this planet, and to give and receive love.”  It set the tone to spend the day thinking about all I am grateful for, which is a lot.  A good yoga practice eliminates, even if just momentarily, the need to get to the next thing and reminds you to enjoy what is occurring in this moment, and then the next, and then the next. Connecting to that is why I love yoga.   


Our dear friend Aimee (one half of Kiki’s Adopto-Moms ) is in London on business this week.   We introduced her to our favorite pizza place, “Made in Italy” where pizza is on an ultra thin crust and served by the metre!  We got to catch up an all things Seattle, hear all about Kiki (they think she’s so smart she might be a Mensa cat) and begin to plan our upcoming trip with she and Coleen. 
Amy’s parents arrive on Tuesday, which will be great!  We’re very excited to have them here in London with us for a couple weeks.  Stay tuned for our adventures…
With love,
Jeri Jo
