Thursday, February 28
Well, meditation last night was a disaster. I tried to sit for my night-time clearing, but I couldn’t do it. I was too tired. It was definitely too late to meditate at 11:30 p.m. So, I said my prayers and went to bed.
Then, when I woke up this morning, once again, my meditation [...]

Today was gloriously sunny. We’ve been having spectacular weather for Portland in February! It made it up to 61 degrees out. The days are getting longer and I can’t wait for daylight savings time to kick in, in just a few weeks.
I managed to get in my 15 minutes of meditation. I [...]

I decided to write earlier than usual tonight because I couldn’t find my charger for my home laptop. So, I pulled out my work laptop, but I had left the power chord at work. So, this was going to have to be fast while the life of my computer was still relatively [...]

I started getting congested last night. I realized that stress was the direct link to my issues with congestion. My nose started off runny, and then I got slightly congested – not nearly as bad as I used to get. When I got in bed, I sensed I wasn’t going to sleep [...]

9:19 p.m.
To summarize the weekend, I only need to began with the Tibetan Buddhism talk I attended on Friday night, setting the tone for a very deep weekend, to say the least. So, yesterday I participated in a half day of a workshop that continued the dialog that begun on Friday, followed by a lively and enjoyable dinner with [...]

I woke up well rested today. I did ten sun salutations. I hadn’t been practicing yoga lately, and I thought it would be a nice way to wake up and open my day. I fed the cats, showered then headed toward St. Johns to The Crystal Temple to sit in on the [...]

I was listening to Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson while I began typing this entry. This song was the haunting climax to last season’s finale of Grey’s Anatomy (when Christina arrives in her apartment and Burke has moved out and all she can do is take off the tight wedding dress that’s literally strangling [...]

So I’m watching Lost and I’m a little lost. I missed the last episode and I’m doing work to get ahead of some of my projects. There is a full moon tonight but I couldn’t see it on my way home. After work, I drove to Dundee to meet with my friend, [...]
