I got into Barwis by myself yesterday. I made a conscious decision yesterday as I opened the door to my office as I got to work. This weather stinks! (It was raining at the time). But regardless of this horrible weather, I was going to make the best of it and try to control my body. I was going to “just” and “relax” as Phil always says.
I asked Phil how my body was feeling as he was stretching my left leg. He nodded and said it felt good. I told him as I snapped my fingers that I just flipped the switch. He said something like it was about time! I tried my best to stay relaxed and it’s not as if my body didn’t put up a fight because it did!
After Phil stretched me for a while I attempted some stands. It was a bit of a fight but I did end up standing. I stood for a long time. I sat down and was SUPER excited and looked at Phil and said, ‘I stood for ever!” and he smiled and said “and ever.” I tried a few more times but I was unable to *BINK.* Then Phil said it was my last attempt to which I was victorious in standing. He put his fist out to which I grabbed it and yelled “joystick!” He said that didn’t count but he’s wrong.He took me out to my car and grabbed my hand and said “joystick” and shut my door. I re open the door and told him that totally didn’t count! He said it did over his shoulder and then opened the door to go back into Barwis. that Tanzanian proverb kept resounding in my head. I didn’t stand a bunch but I was really working hard and little by little DOES become a lot. It will. It IS! … and Phil is a sore loser! 😉
