#1 First post of the new year

Hello 2007

I have had an extremely busy holiday season, and now I am back into the routine of a new semester. I plan to post regularly again. In each post I want to remind myself to be mindful. It is a good way to connect my spiritual practice of mindfulness with my everyday life or teaching, writing and reading. I also plan to do more running and meditation during this year.

Today I did have a good meditation in the morning, and I am writing at the moment, so those things are all good. I am all prepared for my classes today, but I need to do more preparation for my Wednesday classes tomorrow.



I heard that the forecasters call for snow tonight and tomorrow. I hope it is not too disruptive. I already long for spring.
