[19:25] druth Vlodovic: maybe you should vow to congeal your vows :)
[19:25] Eliza Madrigal: heheh

[19:25] Eliza Madrigal: by the time I make a resolution I've usually been working on it for a while already
[19:25] Lucinda Lavender: more tapioca :)
[19:26] Eliza Madrigal grins... don't hear that one every day!
[19:26] Lucinda Lavender: luci loves tapioca...
[19:26] Eliza Madrigal adds "learn to spell congeal" to list ;-)

[19:27] Catrinamonblue Resident: hi Ewan
[19:27] Eliza Madrigal: resolutions Ewan?
[19:27] Ewan Bonham: Hi Catrina

[19:28] Eliza Madrigal: time?
[19:29] Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Wol
[19:29] Eliza Madrigal: Hello Wol :)
[19:29] Ewan Bonham: Daily balance of spiritual discipline, work, and health
[19:29] Wol Euler: hello pabonauts!
[19:29] Ewan Bonham: Hello Wol
[19:29] Lucinda Lavender: Hi Wol, Ewan,
[19:31] Eliza Madrigal: we've been sharing resolutions Wol
[19:31] Wol Euler: ah :)
[19:33] Wol Euler ponders.

[19:33] Eliza Madrigal: I've been setting the timer again... guess that is a resolution that started early... few weeks ago
[19:33] druth Vlodovic: how is that going?
[19:34] Eliza Madrigal: well. I began it actually to remember to take a note... see what I'm doing
[19:35] Eliza Madrigal: and then it felt natural to take on the pauses again, has felt good
[19:35] Wol Euler nods.
[19:35] Lucinda Lavender: sounds helpful...

[19:36] Catrinamonblue Resident: it's getting late, I'll say goodnight now to you all
[19:36] Eliza Madrigal: it is, a nice practice
[19:36] Eliza Madrigal: Ok Catrina, pleasant sleep
[19:36] Lucinda Lavender: structuring
[19:36] Wol Euler: goodngiht, cat, take care
[19:36] Ewan Bonham: Nit catrina..
[19:36] Lucinda Lavender: bye for now Catrina
[19:39] Lucinda Lavender: hi San
[19:39] Santoshima Resident: hi luci and everyone
[19:39] Eliza Madrigal: Hello San
[19:39] Wol Euler: hello san
[19:40] Ewan Bonham: Hello San.
[19:40] Eliza Madrigal: Hello Stevenaia and Paradise :)

[19:40] Wol Euler: I have one practical resolution to offer: paying more attention to my finances
[19:40] Ewan Bonham: Grin..
[19:40] Lucinda Lavender: that will be mine too
[19:40] Wol Euler: it seems this was a really lousy year in terms of income, but I hadn't noticed
[19:40] stevenaia Michinaga: waves
[19:40] Ewan Bonham: Must go folks..:)
[19:41] Lucinda Lavender: i was thinking but not saying
[19:41] Wol Euler: bye ewan, take care
[19:41] Santoshima Resident: hi Stevenaia :)
[19:41] Santoshima Resident: and bye Ewan
[19:41] Paradise Tennant: smiles and waves all round take care ewan happy new year
[19:41] Santoshima Resident: hello PAradise
[19:41] Wol Euler: hello para
[19:41] Eliza Madrigal nods... my sense is that this coming year that will happen whether I resolve to or not :)
[19:42] Paradise Tennant: hiya wol :))
[19:42] Paradise Tennant: hiya san ..
[19:42] stevenaia Michinaga: Yes eliza,
[19:42] Paradise Tennant: smiles
[19:42] Lucinda Lavender: Para, Stevenaia
[19:42] stevenaia Michinaga: awareness never hurts
[19:42] Eliza Madrigal: hmmm ... in the long run? :)
[19:43] stevenaia Michinaga: not sure it changes much
[19:43] Wol Euler: perhaps not, but keeping better track will surely not hurt
[19:44] Eliza Madrigal nods

[19:44] stevenaia Michinaga: I'm sure you are subtlly aware , or you wouldn;t suggest being more aware
[19:44] Wol Euler: well, yes, there was a certain amount of willful ignorance involved

[19:46] Eliza Madrigal: that's the rationalle behind my taking notes on the hour - I didn't have a clear idea of how I was spending time... so in some ways wasn't giving myself credit... proportions were off, like someone with an eating disorder, though that might sound extreme
[19:46] Wol Euler nods.

[19:47] stevenaia Michinaga: you collect your thoughts in a journal every hour, Eliza?
[19:47] Eliza Madrigal: have been doing so for a few weeks
[19:48] Eliza Madrigal: earlier we were sharing resolutions and I guess that is mine that started early
[19:48] stevenaia Michinaga: hmm, when will you post the blog ... smiles
[19:48] Eliza Madrigal: hhehehe

[19:49] Calvino Rabeni: Hello everyone who "appeared" since I went afk / dozed off :)
[19:49] stevenaia Michinaga: although it was kind of a resolution, your 100 days, Wol was the closest I have made to an overt ongoing committment to myself
[19:49] Paradise Tennant: smiles and hands cal a coffee :)
[19:49] Santoshima Resident: hello cal
[19:49] Eliza Madrigal: interesting, yes
[19:49] Calvino Rabeni: ty

[19:49] Wol Euler: that reminds me would anyone be interested in a revival of the 100 days? Another series?
[19:50] stevenaia Michinaga: raises hand
[19:50] Santoshima Resident: yes
[19:50] Wol Euler: all right, let's try again
[19:50] Paradise Tennant: hand is up
[19:50] Eliza Madrigal: will consider too :)
[19:51] Lucinda Lavender: will consider....
[19:51] Wol Euler: shall we say that we start on --pick a date -- Jan 7?
[19:51] Santoshima Resident: sure
[19:51] stevenaia Michinaga: I will be away that week (in calif) but that's ok if you do a countdown :)
[19:52] Paradise Tennant: let's do a quick revisit of the rules guidelines ??
[19:52] stevenaia Michinaga: 15th :)
[19:52] Wol Euler: all right, I'll get that started and make an announcement
[19:52] Santoshima Resident: do you prefer the 15th Stevenaia?
[19:53] Wol Euler: sure, basically just choose something htat you would liketo make into habit, or strengthen an existing habit
[19:53] stevenaia Michinaga: don;t wait for me, the longer you put it off the harder it gets
[19:53] Wol Euler: and commit to doing it every day for 100 days
[19:53] Santoshima Resident: ok
[19:53] Wol Euler: and every day write a comment on the wiki on how it went

[19:54] stevenaia Michinaga: it's a very nice place to share comments and comment on other's comments
[19:54] Wol Euler nods.
[19:54] Eliza Madrigal: for some, their practice took place in the comments... Eden wrote haikus for instance
[19:54] Wol Euler: brb, need a drink of water

[19:55] stevenaia Michinaga: https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Classes_and_Sessions/The_99_Days_project
[19:55] Eliza Madrigal: ah, that's a good resolution... Sun and I were talking about drinking more water
[19:56] stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm, seemed like 100 days to me
[19:56] Calvino Rabeni goes for another drink of water
[19:56] Eliza Madrigal: maybe I should resolve to come to more Sunday night sessions
[19:56] Santoshima Resident: :)
[19:57] Santoshima Resident: just bring water
[19:57] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[19:57] Lucinda Lavender: luci too
[19:57] Wol Euler was at a pre-new year's eve party and is pretty drunk
[19:57] Eliza Madrigal: oh goodness, and sobering up already?
[19:57] Wol Euler: hoping to
[19:58] Wol Euler: like Dr. Johnson I find abstinence easier than moderation :)
[19:59] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[19:59] Eliza Madrigal: tbh it is why I missed the guardian session this morning... bit difficult to wake up after glasses of wine last night (comes clean ..hah )
[19:59] Wol Euler: aha! hehehehh
[19:59] Wol Euler: fellow feeling
[19:59] Wol Euler: well I am committed to coffee at TIM HORTON's at 8am tomorrow
[20:00] Wol Euler: that will get me moving
[20:03] Santoshima Resident: { bye for now }
[20:03] Eliza Madrigal waves
[20:03] Calvino Rabeni: Bye San :)
[20:03] Wol Euler: bye san
[20:06] Paradise Tennant: take care san

[20:06] Eliza Madrigal: maybe it would be interesting to note one thing that stood out in the day, on 99 days... like, last night I got to see a black orchid in bloom
[20:07] Wol Euler: that could be a project, sure
[20:07] stevenaia Michinaga: a nice addition
[20:07] Calvino Rabeni: yes
[20:08] Paradise Tennant: wow

[20:08] Calvino Rabeni: Unfortunately .. I need to run along
[20:08] Paradise Tennant: nite nite cal

[20:11] Wol Euler: goodnight, eliza!

[20:11] Wol Euler: so, recapping, we will start a 99 days session on Jan 15?
[20:12] Paradise Tennant: and it can be anything we want to strenghten into a practise
[20:12] stevenaia Michinaga: sounds good
[20:12] Wol Euler: yes, para

[20:13] Paradise Tennant: but ideally something other people would find interesting to read about
[20:14] stevenaia Michinaga: usually something you want to mention about it, whether people will be interested in reading it is up to them :0

[20:15] Paradise Tennant: wb wol
[20:17] Paradise Tennant: so say I want to work on being focused some part of the day on being compassionate and making sure I get a run or a bike in :)) maybe I can combine those two things .. practising compassion while biking :))
[20:17] Lucinda Lavender: :)

[20:19] stevenaia Michinaga: I missed about 1/2 the last 100 days, when I came back I read about 50 days of the logs in an afternoon, it was all very interesting, everyone had such a diferent perspective on what they were doing but the vibe was very positive for all
[20:19] Lucinda Lavender: I remember that also
[20:19] Lucinda Lavender: yes

[20:21] stevenaia Michinaga: this winter I am finding much of my regular things have been missed, which is why the 99 days framework seems appropriate
[20:21] stevenaia Michinaga: and encouraging
[20:22] Lucinda Lavender: can understand that
[20:24] Lucinda Lavender: due to doing some sl dream circle I feel I cannot take on anything more

[20:25] Lucinda Lavender: I believe thanks to Paradise taking good notes January 3rd will have dream circle at 5:30 pm SL
[20:26] druth Vlodovic: 5:30or 6:30?
[20:26] Lucinda Lavender: 5:30 SL
[20:27] stevenaia Michinaga: is that monthly now
[20:27] Paradise Tennant: smiles
[20:27] Lucinda Lavender: I think so at this point
[20:28] stevenaia Michinaga: a months worth of dreams?
[20:29] Lucinda Lavender: :)
[20:29] Paradise Tennant: smiles and nods
[20:29] Paradise Tennant: been having some great ones :))
[20:29] Lucinda Lavender: I have been so busy I am not remembering

[20:31] Paradise Tennant: went to a nurtitional counseller the gal that wrote eat well age better .. dr aileen burford mason .. she recommends taking magnesium before you go to sleep along with quite a few other recommendations but since I have been doing that have been sleeping better and remembering my dreams more
[20:32] Lucinda Lavender: ah interesting!

[20:32] Wol Euler: my dears, I must go
[20:32] druth Vlodovic: I got magnesium for my son to help his circulation, what dose do you use?
[20:32] Wol Euler: goodnight, take care, be happy
[20:32] Lucinda Lavender: you too Wol!
[20:32] Paradise Tennant: nite nite wol sweet dreams :))) happy happy new year
[20:32] druth Vlodovic: sweet dreams Wol
[20:33] stevenaia Michinaga: night WOl, sweet dreams
[20:33] Paradise Tennant: hm one sec
[20:33] stevenaia Michinaga: sees Para nibbling on a bar of magnesium before bed
[20:33] Lucinda Lavender: :)

[20:33] druth Vlodovic: the trick is to swallow it before it has a chance to react to the moisture
[20:34] Paradise Tennant: hmm ok 100 mg
[20:34] Paradise Tennant: magnesium at night
[20:34] druth Vlodovic: ah,my son looked it up and said he should be taking 400
[20:34] Paradise Tennant: time release vit c . d3 and a good multi vitamin in the morning with food
[20:34] Paradise Tennant: well she says you up to your own body's tolerance
[20:35] druth Vlodovic: seems beans ought to give it but the soil depletes very quickly so they generally don't carry as much as they ought
[20:35] Paradise Tennant: usually i believe the term is bowel tolerance lol
[20:35] Paradise Tennant: yes very wide spread deficiency it is a great book btw
[20:35] druth Vlodovic: uck, something to keep in mind
[20:36] Paradise Tennant: http://www.amazon.ca/Eat-Well-Better...6928552&sr=1-1

[20:36] Paradise Tennant: actually a lot of our food is not a nourishing as it was even if you do eat healthily

[20:37] Lucinda Lavender: thanks for all you all do...
