So far I have been pretty lame in regard to this resolution. I have been meditating right before bed because I don't seem to get around to it until then. First thing or at least earlier in the morning is supposed to be better in terms of the benefits of meditation, which makes sense, so today I will do it this afternoon, for sure, no excuses. Maybe I can manage to make it in the morning sometime this week, too late for today. It has to be timed around the baby's sleep schedule because taking care of an infant who is crawling around and getting into mischief is not conducive to being able to successfully meditate. Sometimes I think she must have no taste buds with the things she likes to put in her mouth, dog fur is a particular favorite, although any small and fairly disgusting object found nestled in the carpeting seems to appeal.
I HAVE meditated both days in January thus far so I am giving myself props for follow through, even if it is a minimal/slacker version.
Today I am going to get my zafu and meditation cushion out of the closet and find a good spot for them. Maybe I should abscond with Brad's heater too. Part of the reason that I am dragging my feet on this is it is just so cold that I don't want to emerge from the pile of blankets that I have been cocooning myself in and it seems that meditating from within a blanket cocoon is maybe bad form?
On another note, a friend of mine is coming over tonight for our traditional January tarot card reading. After three years of turmoil and transition I am hoping for a relatively uneventful 2010. We shall see.
