Simple Things

I've been feeling pretty cruddy lately. With working long hours on a film set and going through changes in medications, I haven't just felt normal for a while. I've been getting headaches daily again and I'm quite sick of it. But I don't want to be downing tylenol and exedrin all the time, when it really doesn't get ride of the pain anyway, just takes a bit of the edge off. But I had the day to myself today, which is nice to have some quiet time. And I did some yoga today. I'm amazed what 20 minutes of gentle yoga can do. I just did some simple poses, which don't even look like the would do much, but I tell ya, I had all sorts of cracks and pops coming from all over. I didn't realize how much tension built up in my body. And I feel so much better! Headache is gone for now! I am really grateful for that and who'da thought that just a few minutes of simple yoga could do that. I forgot how much better it makes me feel. I think that we tend to forget the simple things in life, when really that's what makes us happiest most of the time. Like laughing over something completely silly that makes no sense at all, or having hubby fold the towels, or a short walk in brisk autumn weather. Bouncing on the trampoline with my nephews, eating fresh raspberries from Grandma's garden, running down the beach and crashing into the water, or lunch with a good friend. I'm filling my head with happy thoughts so there won't be room for the headache. Hope you all are having a good day and think of something simple that makes you happy too!
