Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
A friend of mine, mom of fabulous, spiky-haired, 5-month-old Josie, recently returned from her Mommy and Me yoga class all hot and bothered and gave me a call.
“Two of the moms were upset because they’re starting back to work in a few days, and they don’t want to,” she said. “It’s just hard emotionally, you know? Anyway, the yoga teacher was really smug about it. She told them, `Good luck back at work. I could never leave my baby like that!'”
So much for the serenity of yoga class. Hey, whoever’s listening: Grant these women the serenity to accept the things they cannot change (like the fact that they have to go back to work before they’re ready) and the courage to change the things they can. Like maybe their yoga teacher.
