Today's Gratitude
Warm sunshine in the window

lasted 15 min before checking the clock, gave up at 18, which is no disaster lol
felt weird and light-headed instead of peaceful after

I'm not sure if I'm aiding the squadron or not, I'm just doing my own flight path :)

Meditated in the evening, in my daughter's room as the other rooms were in use. I had to stop twice to tell the children to be quiet. Then I started to worry that the bell to mark the end of the meditation would startle them awake again now they actually were quiet. All in all, I have had less distracted sessions, but a distracted session is still better than none.

::: Dancing on silence
::: Remnants of slowing footsteps
::: The beat of the heart

I missed a day yesterday, I felt its important to focus on these points - not because I must report about it here - but because I really feel its an important edition to each day. I think its very important that I don't meditate only to "tick" this task off - but because I truly feel it improves quality of life. So if I am too busy I might miss a day - but when I do it - its really meant ...you know what I mean :)

Metta : No official metta time - hmm would love this to work a bit better. I do ponder a lot about metta daily even though I don't do the meditation. When I do have time for it - I love that also. I do think that it is very important to practise metta in various different ways apart from meditation - I have been exploring that a lot.

Quiet time with trees : not much quiet time today.

South Africa moments of ponder, musings and thanks : nothing comes to mind for today.

Missed another day. I think I am being far too easy on myself with this, and that I need to reorganize my time at home and put it to better use.

I missed a day as well; was it yesterday or the day before? Like skipping a beat, but did not stumble as I had envisioned I might. Maybe our little community, here, sort of dancing to similar rhythms, even skipped beats, keeps us all in a kind of harmony. A quiet-feeling community.

Staring at a pile of paper notes made over the last couple weeks.
Trouble to daily transcribe them into here.
Might some rule about entering prior notes.
