Nature



Here I am sitting in such beauty around me...in a treehouse in Sri Lanka last December/January. :) The nature was breathtaking! Waterfalls, trees, the works!

About meditation in my life...

I've been meditating daily, but I find the times I can really connect are on the weekends...when I've had enough sleep....where I'm not rushing to get to work.

When it cools down again, I will meditate more outside. Meditation really helps me fit all into the day and not fit too much in...and feel like the day was satisfying...

It's important to honor each day....and not make it miserable...by all the unprocessed thoughts, feelings...that I feel=mostly when I don't meditate!

Love and peace! :)

meditating again===day 2

Today I seemed to have a proper amount of time to meditate again. There were some things that could have thrown me off balance...

1. A friend who doesn't come to my home town much mentioned she was local with a friend. I had somewhere to be later in day and normally that would have gotten me all disorganized, but she and friend came by briefly and we talked for a half hour and all was good...just wish I coulda gotten some iced coffee before driving so far up north.

2. I talked to my dad. Lately, he and I are misunderstanding each other...today, I called him a few times...I had to let him know I couldn't talk once...so called back later. All times, we were calm and respectful of each other.

3. I arrived around 4pm in Downey to a friend's baby's bday party. Usually I would have been overly apologetic about getting there later...but no one questioned me and all was good. I went after to my friend's house with her family and stayed exactly how long I wanted to stay and drove home...I didn't feel feelings when I arrived at party...like I'm late, unworthy, a pobrecita. I just felt fine!

I was able to balance a lot today and not get too stressed and for this I'm grateful :) I ate before I left home too, so I wasn't hungry on way up...

meditating again==day 1

Oh my...now I know how much it means to meditate. Well, I knew before, but I feel these things happened because I meditated today.

1. I was walking down to beach and a guy had a flower for this girl and he said: well, here's one for you too! This is a random guy, and it felt like a random act of kindness.

2. I went to Long Beach and took two friends out for their birthdays. We went upstairs and there was salsa dancing in this club attached to restaurant. I really was feeling I'd like to be asked to dance, and immediately a guy came up to me and asked if I've danced salsa before. He wasn't exactly a looker, but I just wanted to dance.

3. I swam in the ocean and just seemed to get more done today! Yay!
