Good Luck Charm

I was in a bit of a funk today. I think it started because I woke up with a headache (that still hasn't gone away...how annoying!) All day today I kept chasing away anxiety that something horrible will go wrong between now and my next doctor appointment. I have no real reason to think such thoughts. It was just one of those days.

Luckily, it was yoga night. I was really looking forward to that hour where I could concentrate on nothing but happy, relaxing thoughts. Not only did yoga do just that, but it also resulted in a good luck charm.

I think the world of my instructor, Tanya, and we've become friends in the 2 years I've been taking her classes. She is also an artist. Tonight, Tanya came to yoga bearing a gift. (She's in on the pregnancy secret since there are some yoga moves that I need to modify or not do at all.) With some leftover clay from a recent project, Tanya made me a trinket that she calls "fertility goddess". She hung it on a string and told me it was going to be my good luck charm. It's a hilarious looking thing...big belly and even bigger boobs...but I was touched. And I think she's right about it bringing me luck. It definitely brought me out of my funk!
