things fall gently into place

Ahh.. I stayed home and that's something I like to do. Especially since I will be moving in the first week of 2012.  Even a positive move is still a stressor.  My apartment is clean.  There's one box of holiday decorations already put up.  There's a bag for the Goodwill ready to go.  I've eaten twice.  and best of all I practised yoga.  At the end of class this morning we focused on breath with our hands at various positions on the ribs.  As we did I realized that for the rest of my life there would be nothing I could discover that would be more beneficial to me then doing this.  Not only because of the physical results but also the peace of mind it promotes.  Especially because I still smoke cigarettes! 
I've long ago discovered the magic of breathing.  It is a sensuous experience that unites body and mind and brings me to the present moment.  It also produces a trance like effect that soothes pain. 
And lastly I spoke with a friend.  I could feel empathy for her because I remember when I was where she is.  All she can she is what she feels or believes she doesn't have.  I'm glad I am not there anymore.
It's become a routine of mine to review the day and list at least three things that pleased me. 
I have a meeting this evening so I thought I'd do it now.
I'm a blessed woman.
