the real 27th day

i entered this class begrudgingly, let this be over. i was having a horrible day, questioning again the meaning of life.  than i entered the studio, and people smiled, or said hello tricia.  i even had someone (who i never spoke to before) say they saw me yesterday with my dogs and waved but i didn't respond. in reality, i had not seen this person or recognize her.  the class was full but welcoming.  the instructor (and owner of the gym) was new to me and refreshed after coming off of a one month training in another country.  he brought new tools to the class.  new way of doing poses, which were contradictory to the strict formations given by other teachers.  he instructed us to give 85%, instead of 100%.  if you give 85% you will last longer, and not burn out, therefore better in the long run. hmmm, is it ok i will be doing 29 days instead of 30?
