Fancy tai chi?

Belive it or not, I have discovered the glamour of tai chi.
It is said to be not only beneficial to body condition but it is also soothing. After a couple of lessons I am able to do the first set of it pretty smoothly and I like it. I find it quite challenging as you have to coordinate many of your body parts and concentrate on breating at the same time. It seems like a combination of body movement and some mental strenght mixed with emotions and elegance. It is a true opposite to today's hectic world. You don't need any special dress, t-shirt and loose jeans are sufficient, and I prefer being barefoot which is generally something I like. Moreover, the gym is some five minutes away from my home when riding my bike. I wonder how far I am going to get with this. It looks like it could fit together with my sedentary job and with the nice but still sort of one-sided cycling.

In fact, you have to look out for every move of your body, even the tips of your fingers, that sometimes it just impossible to catch all those details. You are watching your instrukctor and asking: Why is it so fast? :-); 6:43 PM

I love the first sip of a cup of hot coffee in the morning, it makes me feel alive.

I love my hometown. However, sometimes I think that I wouldn't mind living somewhere else. New Zealand or so.

I like the smell of cut grass, sunshine, listening to the rain, walking in bare feet.

I like the feeling of independence and have to thank to God every day for having the chance of feeling it.

I like the saying "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" as well as "Help yourself and you will be helped".

I like the idea of being stranded on a deserted island but not for ever!

I love the ocean, but I am also scared of deep water. You never know what lurks beneath.

I love her because she is who she is, that's it. Sometimes it's difficult but what to do? I love that girl, whatever she's done, no matter how far away she is.

I love watching my children grown into the wonderful people they are, supporting them when they allow me to.

I like meeting people, especially those who can laugh at themselves, those with dry sense of humor.

I like keeping my things tidy, having my desk cluttered is not my way living.

I like the way I am. I can be nobody else. What you see is what you get.

I hate people who hate people for some stupid reason! The only thing I really can't stand is intolerance.

I hate out and out rude behaviour. I hate it when someone feels they need to be rude, to make themselves feel better.

I hate those selfish people who don't care for anyone but themselves.

I hate all those SUV drivers thinking they are just allowed to do everything with their tanks and that they'll be safer in a bigger car when they inevitably crash it.

I hate drunk people who tend to be violent.

I hate being sick or when my kids are sick or anyone around me.

I hate when people are late, they waste my time. I try very hard to be on time and 99% of the time I am early.

I hate it when my alarm goes off and I realize it's six AM and I really have to wake up. I am not a morning person.

I hate having enemies. But I have to guard against myself. I can be my worst enemy if I'm not careful.

I hate ironing, it's just one of those things that has to be done. There are many things that have to be done.
