This is how I choose to live

I am meditating daily. I think I can say that now that I've done it every day for two weeks. I love that.

I find that when I ask myself if I'm chosing or doing what or how I want to be in my life, it helps me stay on track. It helps me to stop eating when I'm full. It helps me to not eat the wrong foods. It helps me get in the car and go to Curves. The question I ask myself is this: Is this how I want to live my life? It requires that I stay present and that's the hard part -- and the most important. There are still times when I just feel the need to zone out.

But maybe that's just a cop out. This morning has been one of those times. I haven't gotten anything done, and I have to leave in about an hour. But my new resolve is to start treating myself as if I were one of you guys, a friend. So I'm not going to get all pissed at myself and start calling myself names. I took the morning off. Period. End of story.

Now I'm going to go take some pictures of some books and sell them (I hope) on ebay.
