Sounds like January was a good month for you. Thanks for telling us about how meditating is going. I have been wanting to start doing that, I've been battling some negative thoughts that are seeming to want to take control lately, maybe the meditating would help. Hope February is great for you!Beth @ Miles and Trialshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332495605660955177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-41292363242054637032015-02-01T21:42:15.728-05:002015-02-01T21:42:15.728-05:00January has been one long lesson for me in being t...January has been one long lesson for me in being trying to roll with the punches, about goals and life in general. Just when I think I have a handle on things, the universe steps in and shakes things up. Sometimes I suspect it is laughing at me behind my back (you know, "Ha! Jennie thinks she's got something figured out? Let's show her!" That sort of thing). 2015 has knocked the wind out of me and maybe even knocked me down, but I'm determined to get up and brush myself off and getting back on that horse. Some days that seems easier than others. <br /><br />I'm impressed that you can meditate for 15 minutes at a stretch; I have a hard time with 5 minutes. But reading about your experience inspires me to try to make that a regular practice again. Anxiety has become my constant companion the last month, hanging out in my brain at all hours (but especially in the wee hours of the morning), telling me all sorts of unproductive things. Stupid anxiety and worry and fear, the triplets of doom; they think they are my new best friends, but I've got to break up with them.<br /><br />I love reading about Maple getting her craft on and Sean training for his race (I'm totally driving up to hang out with you) and you reading Shakespeare. And congrats on the patent and promotion at work--exciting news all around! <br />Jennie Dhttp://scarletandminiver.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-21845992464146348592015-01-26T10:07:38.819-05:002015-01-26T10:07:38.819-05:00Sounds like January is getting schooled by you!

Any interest in sharing some recipes up in here, the blogosphere? Good on your for meditating, totally inspiring. I've been doing this thing lately at night when I lay down to go to sleep- I tell my body "OK, body, this is the time when you regenerate, repair, and restore yourself." I imagine a big switch, and count down from 3, and then switch on that system in my body. I KNOW you can break your 24:00 5K goal! I know it!!! You're moving towards it every day! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329669972784752273noreply@blogger.com
