Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.

Resolutions check in

Anyone given up on their resolutions yet?  I'm doing ok.  I'd give myself a solid B+.

Here's what I've stuck with so far - I've managed to cut back on sugar, not completely, but a bit.  I've kept my gentle calm pretty well too, and a couple weeks is a long time for me to go without some kind of tantrum.  My wall reminders have helped with that, as well as that idea about the humandural.  Also, I think I've just been too distracted by a new job and a new class and trying to make everything work to have the extra energy for quite as much anger.  I've kept up with blogging most days and I'm really enjoying this process.

What I've had a harder time keeping up with is yoga - no classes going right now and I have a hard time doing it on my own, but I've gotten in a couple sessions and I'll be starting class again soon.  Walking everyday - nope - it's been way too cold some days, other days I've been sick, and others I just ran out of day light in this dark time of year.  I'm looking forward to figuring that one out.  And I have written in my gratitude journal for a week - but I've been thinking about gratitude a lot at least.

I've found the patience to be more gentle with my kids, and I'm really proud of that.  I've also been gentle with myself while I'm learning a new job.

Wish me luck keeping on track.
