Day 10 - Half time

Yay! we made it to the halfway mark. And since the holidays are around the corner, no more big projects are being assigned, just a lot of tests coming up...

One element that needs excellent management skills is time, and it is a challenge for me. If there are appointments in the morning hours, then usually all the housework gets done before 10am, and I am good to go. And get my walk in. On off days, I just don't know where time goes... and before I know it, it is time for the walk, and get ready for the kids when they walk in. Then it is driving around for activities... It is true that time stretches when you have work or shrinks when you don't have work.

Report for the day

With my son, I am noticing that the more activities he has to do, the better he is managing his time and work. Some days it took him 2 hours to do homework, but days like today when he had one hour at home before leaving for Tae Kwon Do and PTA basketball, he knew he wasn't going to come back home before 8:30pm. So all homework was done and checked before we left the house. Is that counter-intuitive that the less time you have to do the homework, the faster you get it done? It is not that different from my experiences at home. Perhaps I need to keep this kid busier than he is now!

One new thing we did today, was meditate together. I loved the synergy. Hope we can do this again... Just so happened that my daughter took a late bus home, and Ben and I had a good hour to ourselves. I took that time, to explain the So Hum meditation to him, and we just listened to soft music, and closed our eyes and focused on our breathing for 10 minutes (with a timer of course).

Welcome to Day 10 - Abundance and the Law of Karma

Our centering thought for today is:
"Today, I make great choices, because they are made with full awareness."
Today's Sanskrit mantra and its English essence are:
Om Kriyam Namah

My actions are aligned with cosmic law.

Ben just ran downstairs and told me he saw a shooting star from his window. I guess the Geminid meteor shower show is on the great black heavenly screen... happy watching!!
