I drove to mediation this morning to discover it is the one Sunday in the year when they don't have it, as the retreat is this week. I've been so distracted by my daughter's news that I completely forgot. Oh, well, I know how to meditate at home, and bought a book yesterday about Zen master Dogen, so I can read that for a dharma talk. But I was sad and sorry for myself on the way home. Then I called a friend, and we're getting together later. I also have a potluck tonight, so there is plenty to cheer me.
I watched 2 movies last night: "Man on a Ledge" and "Mud". The first was boring, and the second interesting and surprising. In between I had a hot bath. What a glamorous life I lead! I had a Trader Joe's salad for dinner and tomatoes. I'd already splurged for lunch: chicken vindaloo and naan, my favorite meal.
I hope my husband is enjoying his bird walk up at the cabin. The rangers only have two each summer, and this is the last. He's been really enjoying looking at birds, so much so that I bought him a bird book to describe the birds he spots. My eyesight makes it harder for me, but the birds up there are colorful and interesting. Lots of woodpeckers and hummingbirds, and tanagers, juncos and and wilson's warblers. Plus ravens and jays. Then there are ospreys and bald eagles, so it's never dull. I hope he sees something truly exciting today.
