A year ago today ....

After having lovingly ignored my blog for the better part of a year, I randomly decided to look at it today. And sure enough, it was exactly one year today that I last wrote on the blog. Looking back and feeling somewhat sentimental about it, I felt a need to post. Last year, I was busy eating and reflecting on crackers ... this year, instead, I spent my night doing this....
Okay, so clearly this is not me. First off, I don't live in a giant white box, so this photo couldn't possibly have been of me. Secondly, this person is maintaining an upright position for arguably long enough not to take a blurry photo. Nonetheless, I am working to acheive this. Yes, my long time yearning to do a handstand has recently been rekindled. And with only a few practices under my belt I do feel like I am seeing good improvement in my abilities to not completely topple over, or throw myself helplessly against the wall. Maybe one day soon I will be able to post a video of a triumphant 5-sec handstand, although no promises at this point. But taking a step back, I am hoping that starting 2013 with inverted-dynamic postures rather than a cracker box in my hand is a positive signal for an exciting year ahead .... (and of course, one with better abs!)
