Today I'm tired. I had trouble sleeping last night due to some external stuff. I missed the asana class this morning. And for the first time in 2011 I missed my 30 min morning meditation. I decided sleep was more important for the day ahead. I'll get in at least a partial meditation tonight after dinner, take some valerian and hope I sleep well tonight.
This morning I helped make savoury carrot muffins (mmm), get beets ready for dinner tonight (mmm, again) and chopped about 45 cloves of garlic (yowsa!).
This afternoon I was cutting back the roses. I figure the thorns must have a message for me since they spent much of the time reaching out to me. I have thorn cuts from elbow to fingertip and middle thigh to mid calf. Ouch! I think the message might be something to do with patience.
And, Heather, if you're reading this: Happy Birthday! Hope it's a great one (or I suppose by the time I write this and given where you live, it was a great one).
MP - I don't find the silence awkward at mealtimes, but I can see how it might be at home. Here, it's kind of nice to not have to make small talk with strangers over your meal. I love the silence! Even though the rest of the time we don't have silence, and there is certainly talking and laughing, there is also generally a quiet, peaceful energy. And if you don't want to talk, no one cares. That's one of the things I want to bring home from here (the quiet, peaceful energy).
LL - Miss you too!
