I had it here, in Costa Rica. Not the most flattering picture, but man I was peaceful.
I FEEL pretty peaceful now...however, I'm so into my work-- which is such a happy place-- that I seem to have forgotten that I have a whole life to balance.
looking...I'll be around once I find it, at least a little bit.
I've been listening to Pema in the mornings. Wow. My students really should write her thankyou cards; she makes me much more peaceful...I hope my students feel my room is a place of peace...
There I go again, back to work...I hope my HOME feels peaceful-- I hope I do things like read for fun, drink wine in the bath tub, be creative and have lots of coffees with friends. I hope I'm in tuned with my intentions, with the effect my actions have on others...Are they better or worse off for knowing me?
I've learned to love living in Dallas, but please don't let me "become" Dallas, leaving the simple things behind for a world of work, drive, work, drive, work...
I've imposed a "work" limit on myself starting this week, and I feel better already...but I'm still not quite right...
its nice to see you again ... i've missed your words, pema is my morning ritual too ~ it really does make a world of difference to how i see the days ... xox
ReplyDeleteHey Faye! Just wanted to say that I hope you had a great holiday and I hope you really enjoy and RELAX during this vacation! It will all be there when we get back. :) I'm so glad to see you love the wee ones. They are so charming, but so draining...I guess they all are, but they need such different things from the older ones. So much energy making sure there are graham snacks for those that don't get breakfast and they actually live their emotions (rather than turning surly as they do by junior high, pretending the only thing they feel is disgusted) so it can be a little overwhelming. Enjoy yourself and recharge...you'll need it for that death march that takes you into June! xoxo Mia
