Day 176 – Hula Hooping

Picture this:  The temperature is 73 degrees. The sun is shining brilliantly and there is a slight breeze. You’re standing barefoot in soft, cool, bright green grass- shaded by enormous, rustling trees- bright, healthy plants potted everywhere your eyes can see. There is a wooden, rustic swing nearby just beckoning your relaxation with a tree stump nearby to be used as a side table. Just like in a book or classic movie, a large tire swing hangs from a nearby tree. The air is clean and full of the most beautiful array of music of all genres. You’re surrounded by 4 other ladies- all of whom are smiling, laughing, talking and….

Hula Hooping!

I was invited to join my friend Lena for the class today. It was at a friend of hers house and it was marvelous! Two of the ladies are sisters and have many years’ experience with hula hooping. So she taught us many tricks and then we had time to freestyle. The class lasted for an entire hour. The hula hoops were weighted and it was quite the workout.

I was so excited to be included in this experience. I felt so happy and was finding myself thinking back to my years as a child with Heather and my sister and other friends- where we would hula hooping, double dutching, playing hop scotch and so much more. This was a truly heart warming and happy, happy, happy experience and I cannot wait to do it again. #HGALwouldhavelovedthis
