>I have found that just making my own candles is fun and relaxing.
I should try to do that. I love candles! I also use aromatherapy when I'm trying to chill out. I do get afraid that I'm going to chill into sleep and burn down the house.

> I want to try a yoga class, but I haven't worked up the courage to go.It took me a year to get to a studio after I made up my mind to do it. I like this particular one because there are different teachers, and different participants in every class I've been to. It turns out I'm not too bad at it, apart from the balance. That seems to be due to my inability to concentrate and my meds making me a dizzy dame.
>I don't know why I am reluctant to go, but I am anxious about going and doing something I don't know anything about. I bought a yoga video, and I had a hard time doing the stretches. I guess I will just have to bite the bullet and try it out.
I tried one by Ali McGraw but it went way too quickly for me to follow. Shades of Jane Fonda.
Maybe that will be on my to-do-list this month. Go and try a yoga class. Maybe if I get my daughter to go with me, I won't be so nervous about it.
I find it to be an extrememly forgiving practice. Everyone has their own level of expertise, good days and bad, and your only competition is yourself. It suits me very well, as I am very self conscious about my appearance and abilities. In yoga, I can soar!
