hello out there : )
it seems that i have been playing night owl a bit lately though i am not as good as it as i am at being an early morning person it seems.
i had a fun dancing experience tonight! i wandered down to my local favorite raw food restaurant this evening after work and ended up sharing a table 'sort of' with a woman who was reading between talking on the phone outside... i scored an extra shot of wheat grass and shared a toast and for this wonderful service was invited to a local group dance experience where there was movement and music and such and i got a chance to sweat and jump up and down and around and have a good time. : )
i have a favorite ancient zen master who i have a strong affinity for. there was a time in my life when i had a translated copy of his work and a tin whistle and i counted those as my only real possessions. i have lately found another book that i am reading and am enjoying on the wonders of happy, healthy, vibrant living. the zen master spoke to me today on the choice to be fully present and to take great care in every action, great or small and not taking one as more precious or complete as any other so that your effort is pure and true. my other book reminded me of the power of good association and taking care of yourself in terms of environment, vibe, energy and making sure to feed yourself with good associations, mental, physical, social...
i paid off my car today... yea!!! first time for me from top to bottom so i gave my car a big washing and drove it proudly tonight. tomorrow, the bedroom, etc... working to create some space and order in my life. i have certainly discovered that organization happens inside first. hard to organize the things outside of your self when the inside is in disarray. the outside is just reflecting your inner state of disorder, so nothing happened on the exterior organization front until i began to clarify my need for order on the inside. the exterior is quick to get in line once the inner self is in agreement.
i'm taking a raw food chef class in San Diego on saturday afternoon so i will head down for the day and if i am having fun i will stay over somewhere and make a getaway out of it.
seems that i am writing from a very tired place the last few nights. i will have to find my daily posting rhythm and am getting lots of opportunities to watch the process and tweak the system.
thank-you : ) : )

interesting thoughts on disorganization. i struggle w/ messiness and disorganization myself and sometimes - well, often - feel like my life feels out of control. even though by most people's standards, I seem to have my sh** together. but i thought my outside disorganization (e.g. a messy desk) was creating my internal angst - in a feng shui way, I guess. maybe it's the other way around? or maybe it's both?
;) hmmm….you made me think! thanks.
thanks so much for the comment and it is my pleasure!!
breathe in and out slowly, relax, stretch and then move with attention and things around will order themselves.
