Yesterday I couldn't go to my regular Yoga class so instead I found an online video with yoga for children and did it with Michael and Samantha. Samantha did great and worked hard. Michael would do it for a few minutes and then get board. Sometimes he would climb on me and say "hosy" (horse) and other times I would put him into a pose.
When Maddie had to exercises for her 30 min. Samantha suggested the video and I watched as the two girls did yoga together. The last 3 minutes when they were relaxing I had Samantha, Maddie, and John Derek all sitting cris cross apple sauce with their hands at their heart. I took a mental picture as I watched my children doing something I like to do and enjoying it.
This morning Michael kept coming to me "go gut." I would as if he was saying go gurt (a yogurt that I give him) and he would reply no and repeat, "go gut" again. Finally he went and got my yoga mat, brought it to me and said, "go gut." "Yoga? You want to do yoga?" I replied. He nodded yes. I couldn't believe it. I turned the show on and began the workout expecting him to jump right in. But he just stood there for 10 min. until I had to lay on my tummy and lift my chest into cobra. He then sat on my back and said with a simile, "hosy." That was the end of my yoga work out and the beginning of working my abs.

"Blessed art thou, Alma; therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast great cause to rejoice; for thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou receivedst thy first message from him. Behold, I am he that delivered it unto you."
It
is comforting to hear that an angel of God told Alma to rejoice because
he had kept the commandments. I know sometimes I only see what I can't
do or haven't done or did wrong. I don't look at what I have
accomplished. I have wonderful sisters and in-laws, and a husband that
continually remind me of how well I am doing. It is sometimes hard to
believe but I am so grateful for their view, for trying to help me see
that I am doing good, that I am succeeding and that I am still keeping
the commandments of God and that I should rejoice.
