Well, I'm off to my retreat this morning, and not a moment too soon. There is very little equanimity left in me, and today the refrigerator is supposed to be installed. My poor husband is left to handle whatever comes on his own. I feel guilty. But I look forward to being away, reflecting, and hearing dharma that is so helpful to be in my attempt to be kind and compassionate. It helps me get back to basics: my careful relations with others, my kindness to myself, my hope to observe the precepts and treasure this life I have been given.
It's a long drive and my next order of business is to get some snacks for the road. I have AkMok crackers and water, so a few juicy apples, some nuts and other energy boosters will be a good idea. I thought of this in the middle of the night last night, when I do my best/worst thinking.
