Meditate to Train the Mind to Stay Focused


Well, yesterday didn't work out quite like I predicted. Busy all day long - two classes at the church last evening - BUT I did just this morning manage to answer my phone with a Send!!!!! No problem. So, call me - now I think I know how to answer it! ---bright sunshine this morning over the Pond. Ducks are out swimming all around the place. Great Blue Heron visited a couple days ago but don't see him this morning.---I've gotten the wanderlust again as I nearly always do in the winter. Thinking of returning to Santa Fe in the late summer. I just didn't get enough of it last year. But, I'll let things rattle around in my head a bit longer and make a commitment before the month is out. What a joy to have so many options available. ------ I've promised myself to get my tax records together before Sunday night so I'll at least try to get started on that project today. I've learned from the past that I just can't get it all together in less than two or three days of effort. So, this is a good time to do it, but I'll first do a bit of knitting just for the fun of it. I do love starting my days with fun things of some kind. Whoops! forgot my daily reading of Satchidananda's wisdom. -------He writes - stay focused on one thing at a time - that is one good reason for meditating - to train the mind to stay focused on one thing at a time. I'm trying but I've still got a long way to go!
