It's been a while...

I haven't forgotten about this blog. It's just that I haven't been making much progress lately. I keep picking away at books on yoga and ayurveda but I have been struggling to really make a commitment to helping myself. I make a little kitchari here and there, and I have been taking a variety of herbal preparations, but I haven't made yoga a part of my daily life. I want to eliminate certain things from diet and put an emphasis on healthy, pitta-pacifying foods, but I'm suffering from a gross lack of self-discipline. I haven't given up, but I'm feeling frustrated with myself. Maybe the change in weather will act as a catalyst for some inner transformation. I guess moving out of the summer heat will be good for my pitta at least. But the summer went by so fast and now the darkness is coming. Oh well, at least I genuinely enjoy the winter weather, unlike most of the people who live here in Upstate NY. I look forward to biking to work when it's 5 degrees out. I'm not kidding either, I really do enjoy it.
