thurs. 3/13/08

so, i'm actually typing this on fri. b/c thurs. was just a day packed full of fun... jon's b-day, friends and family over, nice out to eat, and much more!!! i thought i was not going to be able to get my second meditation in however i tried a new time (by default) which was immediately before going to sleep... ian and jon were falling asleep, as we were all in bed, and i just sat up and did it. i loved it! it really helped me to fall asleep easily as opposed to maybe a bit more tossing and turning that would've followed instead (as i wasn't totally ready to go to sleep as the other two in the house). i felt so content and calm upon laying back down and quickly went to sleep. normally, that could've been a night of racing thoughts (definately would've been in the very recent past, before leaving my job). anywho, thankfully, it's not the case now!!!

although i'm quickly reaping and recognizing the benefits of regular time w/God through meditation i'm still experiencing some resistance (psychologically, and i'm sure ultimately spiritually). i'm very aware of this as i always do this (as far back as i can remember) when newly forming habits that are good for me... too bad i don't have this problem when forming new not-so-good for me habits;-) regardless, it's definately needed for myself, family, and all who are around me so, i'll keep it up. speaking of which, i'm gonna break, do my second meditation for today (fri. 3/14/08) and then i'll be right back to write about that (if all goes as planned ;-)...
