Just turned 100…my 100th blog post, that is! Can’t believe that I’ve been able to keep at this blogging thing for more than two years now.

VIN Mindfulness Retreat Chicago 2012
Off to pursue another adventure, I pulled my car up to the US Customs booth.
“Where are you going?”, the officer asked.
Mindfulness Meditation with VIN
My worlds are colliding.
Family. Friends. Work. Yoga. I have a tendency to keep these parts of my life separate, in that they don’t seem to mingle much. For some reason, I don’t tend to mix them all together into one big jumble. I’m not opposed to it. Maybe it’s happened because I’m a little introverted and prefer to keep certain things to myself.
Checking in by checking out
Last week, I “got off the grid”. No cell or Wifi service.
It was lovely. I needed to “disappear” on a vacation. For 8 days, I travelled with my husband in the truck camper. Just because. No agenda, except to get away.
Something left over for me
I’m physically tired.
There’s been a lot going on. I had appointments on Saturday AM, then was off to the clinic’s summer party in the afternoon. I taught two yoga classes on Sunday and did yard work for the remainder of the day. Back at the clinic the next morning then babysat my nephew for a few hours (changed his diaper twice!!). Tuesday, I did some research on an interesting case involving hind leg lameness in a very sweet Doberman.
When Spring appears, I let it
“When it rains, I let it.”
~113 year old man in response to a question on the secret of his longevity
Do you notice when the seasons change? For me, I mark this time of year with the first appearance of bluebells, daffodils and the magnificence of my neighbour’s magnolia tree in full bloom. I awaken to the birds as they sing in the morning. I watch the rain fall into puddles, listen to the wind howl through the trees and observe how the lightning dances across the darkened sky.
