don't think...breathe

Today, I am grateful for my meditation practice. Because of it, I am finding peace.  I am observing myself. I am noticing the feelings or thoughts that arise in all the different situationships I experience.  And, I am starting to approach them with curiosity.  This is a pretty freaking huge breakthrough.  I am changing my behavior, gently releasing my mind's hand when she wants to pull me down the rabbit hole.   

I am learning how to respond with my truth without guilt or shame.  I spent many years answering the way I thought people wanted, with what I thought they wanted to hear.  I did this because I believed I needed their approval.   

I accomplished dragging my butt out of my chair to go to aqua aerobics when all I wanted to do was drink a cup of tea and watch Netflix.  

I delighted in seeing the almost full moon hanging between two mountains in the light purple and pink sky.
