Old Age Day by Day January 6, 2013

Another dreary day, but listening to a dharma talk and meditating helped.  Then my husband and I had lunch and I bought new pajamas.  Now I'm going to hibernate the rest of the day.  It's cold, and I have a good mystery, so why not.  I received and email from an old friend in Australia, and from my best bud up north, so that is uplifting.  I'm also getting excited about the retreat.  I'm ready to get away for a couple of days.  I'm trying to do what my teacher says and dance between my thoughts and feelings.  The dance metaphor is a good one for me, as I adore dancing, though in my Indian, foot stomping exuberant way.  Letting the body take over and move without directing it, that is freedom.
