Day 192

Monday

Back to the work schedule today – and I’m grateful for almost 8 hrs of sleep last night, an early morning that allowed me a cup of coffee and exactly 9 minutes of meditation before the boys clamored down the stairs.

Today was a nice ease into the usual pace, leaving moments for contemplation.

I think I can see a glimmer of the benefits that might come from continued, consistent meditation: a slightly more observant, removed posture toward my own thoughts, a slowing of reaction time – by a hair, but it’s there I think.

Headed home to attempt to put this into practice during my biggest test of the day: giving two tired, crazy 4 year olds a bath and putting them to bed.
