As I sit here waiting for Felipe, his sister and her partner to arrive, I can't help but to feel this sense of contentment. It's been a wild last couple of months, but it's always nice to have this chance to just sit and reflect on things. Spent most of today doing yard work and errands and just showered (it's about 3:15 right now!) so I could sit down with the ol' laptop, a good cup of tea, and have a few more minutes of relaxation before the gang arrives. It doesn't hurt that it's about 72 degrees, the sun is shining, and the doors and windows are open. THIS is why I live here.
So my question to ponder today is how to have this kind of day be the more prevalent kind of day than the rat race kind of days we usually experience? Does meditation provide that to folks? In all honesty, my days are pretty mellow (see an earlier post about moving my office location to a more remote part of the building), but there is always the constant e-mail and telephone interruptions. I have actually been feeling really good about work these days and really taking stock of how much my students appreciate me and how proud I am of the work that I do.
I hope you are having a good day, too, and will share what you do to bring yourself to a "happy place."
