All right, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Welcome to you, whoever you are. Whether you are a new listener or a returning

friend, I appreciate that you are listening. And in this moment in which the sound of my voice is meeting

your ears, I hope that you're feeling reasonably well. And if you're not,

perhaps we could take this moment to set our burdens aside

just for a time.

Certainly that is easier said than done.

I don't know how you are all doing,

but the last few days have been difficult for me.

Only because my wife is out of town, she went to go be with her mother who is sick and not doing all that well.

And I've been having to hold it down here at home and just trying to take

care of all the stuff that she does for the kids and then take care of all the stuff that I normally

do at the same time. It's a lot. I know I've said this before over the years, but anybody listening

to this who's a single parent, man, you're a hero, you know?

I've just been just juggling way too much for the last two, three days.

And if you were here last week, you know, we had this like major snowstorms, like two feet of snow,

and then it's been like 10 degrees since, so none of

it's melted. It's like a winter wonderland out there, which I kind of loved for the first

couple of days, but now it's just become challenging, you know, there's roads that aren't always

all that good

and there's parking situations atrocious

and it's just been a lot.

I am happy to say that
