It’s day 10 of my challenge and with a squeeze, tickle and wave the last of our friends and relatives depart for the unwelcome start to the 2009 working year. I’ve had a lovely time but…

I breathe a sigh of relief as I climb on my bike and ride to the 4pm yoga class. I’ve been bumming a lift so far but from here on in I’ll be riding to class. I like it – it’s a good warm up for class and while riding home I get to plan the day ahead.

With the house empty of lovely distractions, I feel free to focus again. Only 21 days before I leave Australia and my “to do” list is in desperate need of attention – the odd cookie crumb and coffee stain signifying the checked off items of course!

To everyone heading back to work, have a great year, stay healthy and keep up your yoga practice!
