I cried for over two hours last night. Not little tears but huge, gulping, clawing-at-the-floor sobs. It was all over something that is so far in the past (well, earlier this year) that I feel a bit embarrassed about it. But the salient point is: I woke up with swollen eyes and a headache and a keen desire to go back to bed.
I didn't. I unrolled my mat and gave it my best. I'm glad because I had a good practice - full primary series today and it felt like a relief. The sun salutations helped shed my residual angst and practice became a nice vacation from being in my own head. It was such a relief not to THINK.
And, for what it's worth, I think the tears and the yoga helped shed some grief I didn't know I was carrying. I felt lighter today, and more lighthearted.

I'm glad you feel better. :o) ((hug))
Oh hon, it can be awful when something from our past rears its ugly head but I'm glad you got past it and dealt with it on the mat. Having a good cry and allowing yourself to do this definitely helps. Glad you feel light and more light-hearted :-)
Thanks for the supportive comments, everyone. Your words really cheered me.
