New Year Greetings!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a great start to 2008.

John, thank you so much for posting the movie. I didn't think it was possible to miss Costa Rica more, but I kind of want to jump into some of those pictures.

The first couple weeks of 2008 have been great. My only complaint is that my yoga practice has been almost nonexistent. My travel schedule is somewhat to blame (currently in DC and heading to Nevada), but mostly I have my own stupidity to blame. A few days after Christmas I was a couple of cocktails deep when I decided it would be a great idea to have a wrestling match with my friend's puppy (70 lbs boxer). Although this was fun and I'm proud to report that I won, I also found out that this is an excellent way to throw out your back. Apparently, all that jazz about lifting with your knees is actually good advice. Thanks to Don movement inquiries I think my pride is hurt more than my back. I keep thinking that this wouldn't have happened when I was 20. Boo-who. Poor me! :-)

Missing and thinking of you all.

Love,
Alice
