Yo man Yo yo yo…Things are going pretty well. Just when you start to get into a rhythm you realize you have to take everything apart again and start from scratch. Yep life is definitely not about being comfortable, well, it could be but the end result there is things not working out so well.
My life lately is pretty simple. I get up in the morning and either practice or teach classes and then hit a meeting a night. My friend got me fucking hooked on this show called Shameless (UK version). Its really good so I’ve been coming home at night and watching an episode or three before bed. Hell there are eight seasons and I’m just about through the 7th!
I’ve been focused on the 30 day challenge. It’s tough being a teacher and doing the challenge because it means no days off. As a teacher it is *really* nice to have one day where you don’t go to the studio at all, but I’m committed to completing the challenge and not taking any days off. Hell as a teacher it’s my responsibility to set the best example that I can. Nevertheless its definitely a challenge and I’m happy to be almost through it!
One thing I’ve really been grateful for lately are the students. They are all so inspiring and I just love seeing them everyday and being there for them. It is a really cool dynamic and I’m loving it – yes even the students that are difficult since they help me grow!
After work today I walked over to the meeting early. I wanted to eat the rest of my chicken salad sandwich. I got to the church and sat down on this bench which overlooked the Cambridge common. As I sat there it felt great to realize that my body, mind and spirit felt really good. I enjoyed the rest of my sandwich and then other addicts started showing up to the meeting and I welcomed them and got a bunch of hugs.
So here I am again in life with what some would call nothing, but yet I feel like the richest man in the world. Material things just don’t come close to the spiritual gifts I’ve found along the path…I’m grateful…:)
