Meditation - Day 1

I started day 1 of my meditation challenge, only to find that I'm not that great at meditation. Practice makes perfect though...right? My life is always chaotic. From the moment I wake up, until the moment I fall asleep, it is just one loud continuous day. If my life was a movie, it would resemble Groundhogs Day - almost the same thing every day. I wake up. My husband takes the dogs out to do their business as I jump in the shower. I get ready for work and he wakes up our daughter. As she's eating breakfast I collect all she will need for the day - clothes, blankets, shoes, etc. We all get ready for work intermingled with feeding the dogs and having them follow our every move. Get the dogs settled. Get the kid settled. Off to work we all go. After a long day of work I leave and pick up my kid, go home, walk the dogs, feed my child, feed my dogs, wrestle my child to stop feeding her food to the dogs, wrestle the dogs to stop eating each others food...then the clean up. 20

Welcome back me!

So much has happened, and so many books were read since September, but time for me to sit down and write a blog was scarce. I began working again, and with that and taking care of my family, I found almost no time for myself. Reading was something that could only happen during my lunch hour. Writing about it? Up until now, I just haven't had the time. So what's new? A coworker of mine told me about the Real Happiness mediation challenge.  For the month of February, you "commit2sit" and learn about meditation. She got me the book that goes along with it, and every day we are emailed the mediation challenge of the day. I signed up and...well I forgot to start. Now we are 10 days in and I thought blogging about it would help me to begin. Each challenge only takes about 10 minutes each day. It's something new and I figured it can't hurt to try. So tonight? We'll give it a go! ******************************************************************* Read : Cur
