[What are you afraid of?]

[image found via Pinterest]

I've been thinking about something lately. About how we limit our lives at times because we're afraid of failure or because we're afraid to try something new.

My husband gave me a gift certificate for Moksha Yoga a year ago for Christmas. Guess who hasn't used it?

I have never been athletic. I occasionally enjoy biking, hiking and nature walks but by no means am I athletic. Even way back in school I always had a hard time with phys ed classes. I often skipped them so I wouldn't have to exercise in front of others (oli paljon mukavampaa käydä Stockalla hattuja kokeilemassa tai isolla jädeannoksella Hakaniemen Torin kahvilassa). Skating was pretty much the only thing I felt comfortable doing in front of others. Isn't that crazy? I don't know where my shyness about exercising in front of others comes from. And don't even mention about being shy to dance in front of others. We won't go there!

So I have this dilemma - I want to try Moksha Yoga. But I'm scared I'll make a total idiot of myself. I'm not flexible (an understatement if there ever was one!). I'm not in great shape (another understatement!). I feel that even the beginner class won't be "beginner enough" for me. I wonder if there is a "can't bend in any which way" class available? 

So how do you overcome your fears? I honestly don't know. I'm still working on it. I'll let you know if I'll figure it out. I do believe that I will have to start small. Maybe start by imagining myself in a yoga class. Once I start to feel comfortable with just the idea of doing yoga, then maybe I will want to go do it more than I am afraid of it.

[naora itellesi ennen ku muut kerkeepi]

ELÄMÄNOHJEITA KAENUULAESITTAIN

Liian paljo hyvvää on ihanata. 
Anna kaekkesi, van elä periksi. 
Kompastelu voepi esttää koatumisen. 
Joka ihteesä luottaa, se kykysä tuplovaa. 
Elämän tarkotus on murhheen karkotus. 
Naora itellesi ennen ku muut kerkeepi. 
Ikkää tullee, van vanahaksi ei tarvihe tulla. 
Huomine on ussein viikon kiirreisin päevä. 
Jos mieles tyhjennee, elä unoha katkasta eäntä. 
Lukemalla ei uimmaa opi, vetteen se on mentävä. 
Ne tekkee, jotka ossaa -jotkei ossaa, ne arvostellee.

Kajjjaanissa syntynyt ja lapsuuteni kesät sekä joulut siellä viettänyt = pakko oli laittaa tämä tänne blogille säilöön. Ihana! ♥

ps. Olisipa ihana lukea joku kirja kokonaan kainuun murteella. Tietääkö kukaan onko moista olemassa?

Couple of quotes I found on Pinterest.

{road trip}

We spent the New Year's weekend with our besties in southern Alberta.

These pictures are from our drive between Lethbridge and Calgary. Taken through a dirty car window.



Tämä Eino Leinon runo sopii hyvin näihin kuviin. Runon bongasin Clarissan blogista. 

Kuka tietävi, mistä me tulemme

ja missä on matkamme määrä?

Hyvä että me sitäkin tutkimme,

ei tutkimus ole väärä.

Mut yhden me tiedämme varmaan vaan:

me olemme kerran nyt päällä maan,

ja täällä meidän on eläminen

miten taidamme parhaiten.

...

Ken kerran itse on onnellinen,

se tahtois onnehen jokaisen

ja antaa ja antaa ja antaa vain

oman onnensa aarteistaan.

{precious}

She's a little bit of sunshine,
She's a smile to light your days,
She will steal your heart and
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She's your precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill your years with laughter
and your lives with lots of love

For the love of this Girl,
I can’t thank God enough.
