Meditated in the afternoon. Got good practice in dealing with interruption when my husband called, a few minutes before the gong, with a change of schedule that made it practical to do the cooking first and the rest of the meditation later. I later had some time to meditate, but I would have to catch a bus right after. This also did interesting things to the mind.

Anticipating my husband's return from 3 weeks away, planning a delayed Valentine's dinner as welcome, only to learn that his commuter jet having to divert into a small airport delays his arrival home til midnight!
The dinner can easily be postponed; more pleased that each of us can keep our equinimity. Though heard that others on his plane did not fare so well re their emotions. The airport's fire department, on the runway for any emergency, might have needed to tend to some of the passengers' upset: sometimes disappointment can feel like catastrophe.

Grateful for a restful stat holiday
