CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recounted a conversation with my sister on my 40th birthday. We talked about the story of the Vinegar Tasters from the Tao of Pooh. Three figure represent Buddha, Confucius and Laozi. Each are drinking from a pot that is understood to be life. Confucius finds it bitter, because in Confucianism life is not understandable and all you can do is follow tradition. Buddha is indifferent since Buddhism teaches non-attachment, so you are not supposed to care about how it is. Laozi looks to be enjoying it since life is sweet.
As we grow older, we are often told that it gets worse from here. Things hurt more. You can’t do the things you once could. The point from the story is that this is perspective. The same circumstance can be viewed from a positive or negative light. If you hurt more after exercise, you can also be happy that you CAN exercise. If you are struggling with your family, then you can be grateful you have family you like enough to worry over.
MOLESKIN:
If I did a similar workout again, I would probably try to switch around the groups some to allow people to interact with different people throughout the work out.
