Don't take it too seriously

now it's holiholiday!
just one indoor cycling (Antsu's, I just enjoy myself as participant -what a priviledge to be married with The Best ic-instructor) and one BodyVive class left (more like party-party, love release 10). Found fresh raspberries and strawberries in our foodstore, serving with greek youghurt and honey to night.

You know, yoga is not sports, it's a lifestyle..but nothing have to be taken too seriously:

inhale up -EEEEXHALE:


and afterwards Meet Ogden,The Inappropriate Yoga Guy at Yogajournal.com

Have FUN and enjoy every moment of your life, as you know - "tomorrow is just a dream.."

ooops, I did it again!

I'm stressedstressedstressed, my normally state of mind last week before holidays..so much to do and suddenly so little time, and it flies..

Every time I decide that this time will be different, NO stress, just serene TRANQUILITÉ. Program Failure (in my brain) - contact your System Administrator...but hey -that's ME?!?!?!
..just....breath - and as they say on The Island of Love and Afrodite:
So, what can I do? Avrio!

SOON, we will be back Home :)

..just one week, and "Larnaca, now boarding" :)))))))))
At last 'winter'holiday in Cyprus spring..morning San Sals feeling the scent of lemons from the garden and warm seabreeze..picking fresh apricots for breakfast, with anari (fresh goatcheese), strawberries, mountain honey, warm bread and yasmintea - Paradise.

NO schedules, NO must-dos, nothing but sun, rest and totally relaxation with my Love. And the most important of all, meeting for the first time little "Tiesto", born in Februari :)

This is 'our' little beach:

You’ve got a home here

Pet Shop Boys are coming to Finland 2.7., YES! :)

We all have a dream
of a place we belong
The fire is burning
and the radio’s on
Somebody smiles
and it means 'I love you'
but sometimes we don’t notice
when the dream has come true

You’ve got a home here
Call it what you want
You’ve got a home here
to return to when you can’t
face the world and you need
some support to succeed
You’ve got a home

We all make a mess
of our lives from time to time
It’s part of the process
that you stumble as you climb
And if you ever feel
the pain is far too big a deal
I say with pride
I’ll be on your side

OMG - I'm 50 years Young

It's true, I have lived a half century on this planet....
and had a major agechrisis, my first one. The fact is that I don't want to be 20 or 30 or even 40 again (staying 45 would be nice thou). I absolutely don't feel old, but our modern society suddenly threats us Beautiful People 50+ like ELDERLY people. And we are NOT so OLD, age is only a number. Post brings me these advertises to old people, catalogues with Elderly Ladies clothes, incontinence pads and antiwrinkle creams. I'm 50, but I'm still using my Nike's, mini skirts and tight jeans. Every morning when I'm choosing what to wear I do as my finnish Role Model, 82 years old dancer with attitude and still looking HOT Aira Samulin , I look to the mirror, not to my calender. And I do my core exercises so don't need incontinens pads. Enough moaning, dont't you think ;)

Had a lovely day in Helsinki with Antsu, thank You LOVE - you're The Best. We are filmaholics so we went to see a movie first (hahaaa, something cultivated like Almodovar - that we do like a lot- noup...actually we saw Pink Panther II, FUN!!)then lunch in a beautiful greek restaurant Minos (dolmades, grilled chicken and sketos), a littlebit shopping and a cultural journey to Kiasma, finnish museum of contemporary arts. My dear, lovely children came over yesterday, had dinner, later too much mud cake and chocolate - My name is Päivi, I'm a chocoholic...still

The first of April...:-)

Ok, it is my turn to write something nice.
It was really nice to come back home from the business trip and to relax and take it easy for a while.
Last saturday we did have the premier for BodyVive 10 at Ladyfitness in Espoo and it was fun, we were wild and even the flowers were colourful....our generation seems to have the "wild-factor", so it is easy to let go and enjoy.
This week is also busy, i am saying goodbye to a yogagroup at the MBI-school and will say hello again to a yogagroup of future actors. Both classes have been and are really enjoyable, energetic and calm. Everybody is interested in yoga and meditation, so it helps.
Paivi,my dear dear wife, is a bit stressed,because in a week she will have BIRTHDAY, ou yes,do not worry we will take it easy with surprises,,,you know us....
Yesterday i spoke one the phone with the oldest daughter living in London and she told,that 3rd grandchild will be born in november, and that is really nice,"what a wonderful world must" be played again....
Today we will be chilling and just taking it easy, ok we will go thru BodyVive and BodyBalance just briefly, so that we do not make same mistakes again....
We are going for a spring holiday to Cyprus in the beginnig of may...just can't wait to feel the sun and to see our friends again, it will be a week to remember.....

Have a nice day and Carpe Diem
Antsu
