Mindfulness Week- Day 3

A late post, I know…. Busy day.

Woke up, washed up, dressed, walked out the door, got to the Arden’s Garden, realized I left my wallet, drove home to find it, found it in the car, made it to the bank, went to Hancocks to get some buttons, forced my son to agree to come to my brother’s wedding, talked to my ex-husband, drove to Jeju…

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….

My Mindfulness check came after I left and headed to Project South’s 25th Anniversary…

Two Words… ROAD RAGE…

I released morw obsenities from my mouth in 10 minutes then I have all year… Right Speech flew out the window on 85S… Not to mention Right Thought, Right Action, Right Intention… All gone.

But then, i had to breathe… I inhaled, exhaled, released my knuckle grip on the steering wheel, relaxed my shoulders, and drove calmly..

And it was HARD, yo.

I went from Jeju bliss to road raging hell, and it was all my doing. Why get upset, why judge drivers, why judge at all?

I also did some bad eating today. Cookies and dairy… I feel gross. And I should know better…

I decided to be a little more compassionate… To the drivers and to myself. I’m not perfect; no one is. I’ll do a better job. I owe it to peace… Peace in the world… Peace within myself…

Today’s lesson: Mindfulness is every step…

I get it. I got it.

Five days…
