I apologize in advance for any one who does Tai Chi; please do not take offense to my laughter at its expense. Clearly, I am immature ;)
Today, three generations of women (Grandma Cammy, mom, and myself) spent mid-morning delving into the practice of Tai Chi. A gift from one of my mom's friends (who might I add, did worn us that this particular DVD was rather... ehm... unique), Tai Chi at Sunset was more of a gift of laughter than relaxation.
Let's just say, Tai Chi is hard to take seriously. The man on the DVD instructs us to bust a move called, "Shoulder Shrug Shaking Zen." All the while you are supposed to have your eyes closed. Well, I peaked and found myself laughing hysterically because both mom and Grandma looked like they had been electrocuted... that or had been struck with a terrible case of hypothermia in mid-May.
I hope that none of the neighbors were peeping in our windows, should they have caught a glimpse of our ridiculous effort to attempt Tai Chi; they may have laughed themselves into cardiac arrest!

So perhaps we didn't quite have the technique down, Danielle, but it was great fun, and all the belly laughing was really relaxing for all of us.

Laughter is good for the soul! And laugh, we did! It was so much fun I can't wait until we try the 40-minute session. You two brighten my days and keep me smiling. I couldn't do this without the many people that have made this horrible experience into one worth fighting! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
