April 27th, 2012 Today I started out strong being mindful and “in the moment”. Yoga class was great. I paid attention to every pose, didn’t get lost in brain flight, and even checked in to discover new things happening in my body at the end of a second five day week. The room was extra hot when I . . . → Read More: “Practicing” Mindfulness – Day 3
April 25th, 2012 This morning I made up my mind to begin my practice of mindfulness. I walked my mind downstairs and promptly attended to my morning pages.

April 22nd, 2012 Today we had tickets to the Yankees/Red Sox game in Boston. We were going to meet our daughter for dinner and the game. The weather didn’t look promising – a certain rainout. At noon we talked to her and discussed meeting places.
I was ensconced in my recliner engrossed in the second book of . . . → Read More: The Late-Great Rainout
April 20th, 2012 Today in yoga class our instructor had us do a one minute camel, in honor of Mark and Shirley (fellow students), who are away in LA at Bikram training.

April 8th, 2012 Even on Easter, when God has his own big thing to celebrate today, he continues to care enough about my meager life and place yet another piece of his current theme for my days in my path. So far he's spoken to me on the topic of not giving up through books, music, meditation, and . . . → Read More: Even On Easter
April 5th, 2012 Well, that just about covers it all, doesn’t it? After writing that title I had to laugh at the amazing numbers of categories I had to check for this blog. The combination is a bit weird, but who am I to question when the universe moves and speaks?
Sometimes I’m sent a variety of . . . → Read More: Jason Mraz, Bikram, & Mockingjay
April 4th, 2012 Tonight I went to yoga, had a fantastic class, but on the way home decided I must finish this series.

April 1st, 2012 It’s exactly 1:47 am and I am the only one awake, huddled in my bed, electric blanket keeping me warm, the TV quietly humming HGTV, and I am so engrossed in Mockingjay that I just can’t put it down and go to sleep. Never mind that I have to be up at 6am, on my . . . → Read More: If Anyone Could See Me Now…
