Meet the Real-Life Dream Team: Sister
/
Mom, the Big Z, and Auntie. (That's my sis on the left, yep! Beautiful, isn't she?)
She's my best friend. My biggest confidante. The person I turn to when I can't figure out why I'm feeling the way I am. The best new mom of 2009-2010. The most beautiful and loving lady I know. She gives more often than she gets. She's fun-loving, silly, smart, forgiving, and more photogenic than anyone I know.
She's my sister!
Correction: she's my TWIN sister!
She knows what I'm thinking before I think it. She loves me anyway. She's the best, hands down.
We've always been friends, but more lately than ever. And we DO experience that twin thing: where we call each other up because we already know something's wrong and we just want to know how to help make it better.
I'm posting about her here because she's the person I call up as soon as I get done with Bikram class and I've still got issues working out my emotions, self-criticisms, and doubts after I've spent 90 minutes working through them in front of the mirror. She totally understands where I'm coming from, and even if she doesn't, she's more accepting, loving and open than anyone else in the world I can think of.
Who in your life outside the hot room should you be consciously appreciating more?
It's easy to be thankful for those in your life that show up a couple times a week, or who you know vaguely, but what about your immediate family-- those whose flaws and weaknesses you are quite familiar with? When is the last time you actively thanked them for your relationship?
Here I am, sis. I miss you like crazy and I can't WAIT for a few weeks from now when we get to catch up in person. I love you with my whole heart and I can't wait to (someday) practice Bikram together! :)
