Who's playing this game?

Sometimes when you think you know what to expect, life gives you something completely unexpected!

I'm sitting on a Sun-Air bus right now on my way from Noosa to Brisbane airport.  I'm sitting down, which is the last thing I want to be doing, because I have spent 4 hours this morning releasing the 'gunk' in my feet, knees, hips, abdomen and thorax that give my body pain and it actually feels awesome right now to walk and move my body.  So there's no prizes for guessing that today I am grateful to the magic hands, fingers and elbows of OD and the OD Mentorship crew that ended this weekend's three day mentorship with a hands on session of fascial line release.  ....and BREATHE ....

And I have so much more to be grateful for this weekend.  It kinda seems unjust to list as much as I can so here goes ...

Backwards from 5pm ... because that's the way my brain works (and whilst I'm getting better this is not yet a daily ritual, so I will be going all the way back to Friday 15th)

Today - Sunday 17/2

- Hugs!  from OD, Richelle, Gareth, Ceds, Kate, Lachy, Pricey, Krista x 2, Priscilla and Nathan (that's almost 12, so I only need one more to grow today ... and if I keep going backwards I'm pretty sure I scored at least 2 more during the workshop.  No wonder I feel good.

- Conversation and laughter with Richelle and Molly - who'd have thought childbirth could be the source of so much entertainment??

- Fibula head release - just try it

- 6am swim - try that too

Saturday 16/2

- Foot massage, an extended scientific debrief, and the honesty of a young man I don't even really know

- COLESLAW!!!  Simply sensational Richelle

- Beach playout and 'lets just throw some stuff' Krista

- Scrambled eggs and coffee

Friday 15/2

- Another extended debrief - like minded idealists that just need to talk

- Green Bean Salad and Chocolate brownies ... x 3 .... yes I broke the rules, start again next week :D

- Optimism, anticipation, new friends and a change of scenery

And at the end of it all I find myself grateful for and to Stu, for helping me to be free this weekend to participate fully in what has been the life changing experience of OD On Movement mentorship in Noosa.

Let's get excited people ... the game has changed!!!
