Did I cultivate a sense of wonder in 2010? I don't think so. If I did, wonder was a few paces behind a sense of gratitude and a sense of coming back to healthier living. Gratitude for all that I have has loomed largest this year. I've family, friends, work and, well, what more do I need?
I'm back to meditating fifteen minutes a day, seven days a week, and I can't believe that I ever let that habit slip out of my daily schedule. Nothing grounds me better than slowing down and practicing meditation: focussed breathing, in and out, in and out, and ignoring the mind monkeys that usually swing from one neuronal branch to the next. My mind slows down, my heart slows down, and each part of my body relaxes into a calm order.
How can it be that something so simple can be so powerful?
