A cold morning.  I think about gratitude.  I'm fortunate to be surrounded by God's grace.  To be able to make time to greet and honor that Holy presence in my life--every morning.  My practices sweeten all the rest of my day.    

I don't have a scale,  but I look thinner.  That's another blessing.  I'm changing the way and the amount that I eat.  When I'm not hungry anymore , I stop eating--simple but if you're not in the habit it feels alien and strange like a trusted friend went away.

I misjudged time and had to give up Hatha Yoga and breakfast in order to get to Dr K's.  They now schedule me at the latest possible time.  I'm grateful that it works.  

I feel tired as I drive across town to Dr K's office.  I talk to MKate --of course.  It's a major blessing to have a best friend.  And other great friends as well. 

I'm thinking about what the Vedanta Swami said.  Everything and everyone is part of God.  And I know that's true on one level.  However my teacher's teacher said,  take care of yourself in the early part of your journey.  Don't hang out with bad company.  You might get dragged down.  

So what I'm thinking is--don't judge anyone.  But chose your role models well.  

After Dr K worked on me,  no surprise that I was way out of alignment with all that coughing,  I felt better but still very tired.   I didn't stop at Target as I planned.  I came right home.

Luke went shopping for us at NM.  We're used to me being there and just picking up what we need.  It's good his schedule hasn't started yet.  

I talked to Rain.  Poor kid got a severe stomach virus.  She had to go to the hospital and get a drip to stop the vomiting.  When I talked to her around dinner time,  she'd gotten down a few crackers.  

I'm resting and hope to be back on my feet by Friday.  I also hope to get some serious work done on one or both of the projects.
