I've been letting other things come first when I shouldn't. I really have no excuse.....I don't even work full-time or have kids at home. My nature is undisciplined and I shouldn't condemn myself for it but it's hard not to. I've been busy with long hikes, guests, planning an upcoming holiday(s). But there really is no excuse not to meditate at least once a day. I feel better and more focused when I do. I enjoy meditating but sometimes I look at it like a chore...or more like something that will pull me away from the internet or tv.
Just need to get back on track. I've got a zillion podcasts to listen to, books to read...etc. Did some walking meditation with friends over the weekend and we all found it very calming. Will also have to find a way to meditate while on a 3 week holiday, even if not in the proper posture.

i understand completely. it's hard, at times, sticking to what you know is important when you're busy. i slip every once in a while, as well. my wife reminds me sometimes that i need to "slow down" and do what makes me happy. it's good having her here to keep me in line...... :-)
by the way, forgot to mention that i'm originally from scotland. we moved here when i was 10. been living here in the states for 30 years and i'm ready to go back. i've taken my wife back to scotland a few times and she loves it. we have a 7 month old daughter and i can't wait to introduce her to that part of the world.
Hiya Chad,
what part of Scotland are you from and where in the states do you live? Ever think about moving back here? I adore it here and would never move to the states. Visit my family once or twice a year, of course, but home is right here.
My husband who's not a practicing Buddhist (although is one in many ways) sometimes gives me reminders to be mindful or stop worrying or stressing.
