Today is Allison's birthday and we had quite a day.  First we went to a Laughter Yoga class that was free at the Heights library. We really didn't know what we were getting into, but it sounded like a good idea, so we tried it. It was mainly about deep breathing through laughing, crying, and expressing anger. We did many different activities... pretending to be children on the way out to recess, emulating Sumo wrestlers complete with growling, riding a roller coaster for the first time, etc. While doing those things we walked or ran throughout the room interacting with others. I think I'm still on the fence about it because a few of the participants were way too dramatic for my taste. But after the fact, I felt good.

Then we went on to her regular yoga class, which was very similar to mine, and just good exercise. Afterwards we met Roy and another friend for a late lunch with lots of cake for dessert.

I headed for home late this afternoon as the party continued, but it was a good day for a birthday. Glad I was there.
