Lolly started Gratituesdays and Foggy just added Music Mondays - I've posted about this before, so I'll make Wednesdays "Zenesdays" Here is another pearl from one of my favorite blogs: zenhabits.net

A bad day for your ego is a great day for your soul.

Hi there Foggy,

First let me say that I take what you had to say in a good spirit and understand where you're coming from and will read over the post again with more thoughtfulness .

Also let me apologize if this was TOO MUCH - it was all from ONE PAGE - when it comes to articles - I just copy the whole thing and leave it to others to piece meal what they'd like to take from it. I didnt post it with the expectation that anyone would get through all of it deeply - just take from it what they related to.

Thank you

Michelle

Thich Nhat Hahn is very quotable!

I have done a couple of Buddhist retreats where we all spent the weekend in silence and in meditation.

mhash -

He sure is! I highly recommend his books - they always open my eyes and bring me comfort. Your retreat sounds amazing. I thought the same thing when I started doing Bikram yoga - the concept of being in a 105 degree room for 90 minutes was scary, but the actual practice is wonderful.

Ha Ha - yes! I drank the Bikram Kool-aid long ago. I'll email you - we can talk yoga and not bore others about if you can get into Dandayamana Bibhaktapada Janushirasana :)
