I second Udge's suggestion that we start the next 100-day round on Mon, Nov 6. In the meantime, welcome to Overtime...
Today promises to be another busy day, and I'm tired from playing catch-up with my grading pile. Here's hoping I dig myself out of the grading pit this weekend; in the meantime, Buddha help me get through this day. :-)
Thanks Lorianne, for posting Overtime, and Udge for suggesting next Monday - sounds good to me.
Wishing everyone some gaps in all the rushing to touch your breath, your inner Buddha... however you think of it.
Sat twice yesterday, at 5 pm in my office with all of you and again in the middle of the night, which sent me back to sleep again. I am so, so grateful for this.
I was "there" yesterday - two hours late, feeling a bit like I was outside of things (not your fault, Jean - I plain forgot) but grateful for everyone. I'm going to renew my commitment to not posting anything here without at least spending a few minutes in conscious breathing. We'll see if that carries over into the rest of my practice, such as it is these days! Appreciations and bows to all of you.
Damn!! I can't believe I missed it completely! I utterly forgot - I have been so harassed and distressed this week both by my schedule and by things happening (or not) at home that I barely found space for clients never mind for a few moments reflection. I feel so strongly that I have reached a point where I have had enough and can say that to myself and yet ...and yet it doesn't make clear to me what step I can take next to make anything better. So I am utterly frustrated to have missed the group sit as I have earmarked it as an important moment to set aside for myself. Instead I was creeping about the house trying not to feel at fault, and responsible and then outside in the dark cold with the dog feeling like it would be better to stay out there than to go back in ...and I am trying to sit with that feeling, all of this - and it is so hard. Still glad you are all there talking about your own struggles though ...know that it helps. And hugs to all who need ...
