I'm overwhelmed by all the work that you are going to do to the house. I hope you do hire a contractor who can help you manage what needs to be done, and when. I think that will help
 I'm glad you found the group interesting. My mind would wonder all over the place, too. Meditation takes practice. I'm glad you plan on going back and are giving it another chance, but I'm not surprised that you are because you seem to be open to new ideas. |

I don't know anything about Buddhism.
The book should help and I am sure there is alot on the net. I definitely could get overwhelmed.  my husband has been wrapped up in the power of now. Has been for the past 6 months. Book book leads to another, then one video leads to another. He has tried to explain some of these things to me and it is way over my head. I am glad he is on a spiritual journey towards enlightenment. I just feel left out. I am hoping that I can connect better to him by learning/studying. Wish me luck! bizi

I disliked The Power of Now -- can't really explain but it felt so off. I felt that the author did not understand what he was talking about.
I am glad though that your husband has found it helpful. I really like books by Thich Nhat Hanh. Here's one: The Miracle of Mindfulness. He has a web site too: Breathing – Plum Village But I believe that it is hard to do this without a supportive group or teacher. =-=-=- I had a fantastic cd by an American monk who studied in Asia but I have lost it and forgotten his name.

I am happy with myself.
When my plate lunch came to me There was way too much food. So I immediately asked for a to go container and split the food in half to take home for later. It was very good: chicken schwarma with grecian sauce, tabouli, lentil rice and beets. I have a whole other meal to eat sometime. Can't beat that for $8.50. 2 meals! and it was all healthy organic veggies. I am awaiting the foundation person to come and evaluate our foundation. He was due at 1pm and called to say he was running very behind. I told him I had all afternoon. Think I will go make some coffee. We are using espresso beans, freshly ground and it is so good! I like my coffee strong. I will drink 3-4 cups a day and hubby has half a cup because it is so strong. have a good day yall! Hugs to those who need them. (((((((HUGS))))) bizi

 I will definitely look into these teachings. I think my husband is being brain washed of his own volition.  bizi

Ate very healthy tonight.
Double helpings of zuchinni and green beans, marinated chicken, few little potatoes and a very small piece of the best lemon cake that I have ever had!!!! with berries and whipped cream. moderation, though I am still hungry, I could have eaten more but wanted them to have left overs for brian to take for lunch. I am looking forward to our nightly pop corn. I found one hundred calorie pop corn, it is very good. Think I will make some hot tea. nite yall! bizi
