More Painting!

Ezgi and I finally muster enough courage to paint the top of the very high mural we are painting. We took turns holding the rusty old ladder for each other, while the other one painted the top of the wall. This task would have been to begin with but it was even more challenging in 95 degree heat. We were both dripping in sweat and paint. It was so hot that our painting trays melted in the sun. Ezgi ended up dropping a ton of paint in my hair, which was a disaster. Mainly I'm just hoping that we finish the wall tomorrow or else we are going to have to come back an finish another day. Unfortunately, Ezgi and I angered a hornet that had made its nest by our wall and it flew around, circling us. We were both very scared to paint the wall so we ended up working in the kitchen or about an hour until the hornet left. It was kind of scary though, we were both freaking out.

We did do yoga before we painted and my mom ended up joining the class, which was fun. Afterward she told me that she felt very relaxed and ready to tackle her day, which is why yoga is done. Donna, the teacher, told me that yoga is suppose to be done either at sunrise or at sunset. It should be done to start and end your day. This fact is because yoga brings peace to the body and mind and thus can set you up for a very good day or can help you end your day and prepare you for restful sleep.
