No clutter Wee-kender December 11th
A simple weekender. Put our minds to rest. What seems impossible can wait another few moments. Sigh. Breath. And relax.
*Ring Ring*
What does it mean? In the words of Mecanix...
“The first bell is the bell of mindfulness, calling to me and you.
It says stop what am i doing right now, take some breaths, feel my body, am I holding it tight and tense? Relax… calm down… life is a journey and not a destination, make the journey as glorious as possible.
The second bell is the freedom bell and I'm ringing it for you to let you know freedom from drink and drugs is available to you, come and hear us calling out to you.”
A simple weekender in that we need only have simple thoughts. Slow down in this time of season. You don't have to. You don't need to.
Let's remind ourselves this weekend that we are ok. I need that. I got spun up this week with thoughts that I should not. So I figure if I have... Well, maybe you have? So I am going slow.
Can you hear it? I can!

Welcome to your sober weekend!!!

I'll be around. I was going to the folks for some Xmas spirit this weekend but I'll be hanging around here doing lot's of domestic stuff. The little company I work for got a Xmas bonus of a boatload of new orders. We're going on long hours next week. Not a bad thing but, there will be pain.

Yeah! Looking forward to spending another weekend with you all. Thanks for starting us off so eloquently Ken.
MB's post yesterday reminded me that I'm coming up on year 3 in less than a month. I think it has take every bit of that time to understand that "Yes, the mind can be decluttered." Eye opening.
I'm going to clean out my travel backpack too. It's gotten up to 9.9kg and I want that baby back at 8. Basically eliminating 20% of what I own

Congratulations MB on shotgun! Start us off with a bang this week!
It's nearing Friday and I'll be glad of the break. I've got physical clutter to rid myself of and spiritual clutter to work on.
Weas, last night I went to a yoga class. I had to focus on stuff because I'm out of shape. It doesn't come naturally anymore. One thing your intro reminded me of was the instructor kept reminding me to BREATHE. We get so caught up, we forget. So, deep rhythmic breaths today everyone!
By the way, yoga was great and I'm going back. Give support. It's a huge new sports facility primarily offering gymnastics and ice skating/hockey with a small studio attached. I was the only student there. Nice individual attention but way underutilized. I am putting the word out because I don't want them to cancel.
