Dollar Day
Today I was up and about town doing a little shopping and running errands. It occurred to me that I had forgotten what day of the week and date of the month it was. I have not been tied down to any schedule and have had practically no commitments for a couple of weeks. Without consciously trying to, I have been living a yogic life without practicing asana (poses). One of the important and difficult lessons taught in yoga classes (at least the style I practice) is to enjoy the present/to live in the moment. Today I felt closer to achieving that state of mind than I had after a weeklong intensive yoga class with asana and meditation. I don’t want to live the rest of my life without commitments and scheduled events. I miss having regular contact with sewing friends at classes and meetings , the social contacts I made at Yoga Centers, and the fun I had helping out at the cooking school. However, I think this chance to slow down and think about my life for a few months is invaluable.
I did happen to remember what day it was in the nick of time! It’s Dollar Tuesday at the local multiplex. We might have missed it otherwise. Actually, it’s no longer Dollar Tuesday. The price went up to $1.50. Larry and I joined a happy crowd of people and saw “Whip It”. That was a fun coming of age movie.

It looked like that you are living in your Zen style life. Enjoy it. If you don't know what day of the month or week, who cares as long as you have good time!!
ReplyDeleteFlorence, I ended up wishing I had paid attention to the date. A special figure in the sewing world gave a talk yesterday. If I had checked the local sewing website, I would have noticed it. I would have enjoyed attending the event and telling my sewing friends in WA about it.
