Happy Friday, everyone! Here in Yoga-land, Fridays can be a conundrum. On the one hand, the work week (for those not on summer break) is ending, and the sound of a cold adult beverage and some treat-worthy snacks (fried, sauced, or otherwise NOT sanctioned for the healthily-planned week-day meals) is tempting. On the other hand, unwinding with an outdoor activity, moving those limbs that have been sedentary all week, and breathing in not only the air but sunshine, sky, and freedom, sounds pretty inviting, too. So, which is it? Happy hour? Or a meditative walk on the beach?

If you are lucky, maybe it's both!

If time and weather permit, and the people in your life are open-minded, Fridays can offer the best of both worlds.  Consider this:  Happy hour at a beach-view venue, followed by a sunset walk on the beach. Or, a beach activity (volleyball, a jog, whatever) followed by a bite at a casual eatery where being attired in shorts and sweat doesn't matter. Even possibly a home-packed happy hour picnic, served at a favorite outdoor space (park, beach, hilltop with a view) and accompanied by Frisbee tossing, kite flying, or light yoga. Why not? Get creative, and see what makes you "Happy"!

Life is just too good during the summer to not enjoy it fully.  Me? After a bit of gardening (the tomatoes are going crazy!) and some backyard yoga, I'm planning to walk into the local town with my family and dine on some sushi and sake.

Looking forward to some good savasanah at the end of the night, too.

Enjoy your weekend, all! And remember to breathe.
