Darn!
Damn I actually like having fridays off. I worked so much today I missed a few hours of doing absolutely nothing while getting paid for it. Yes I know that is not cool beans but it was nice having a break from the head boss not breathing down everyone's neck.
I found out something while working out at the gym; silence is golden. On the crosstrainer, I do not speak for the whole cycle. I try not to think about what others are doing around; I calmly push thoughts of work or whatever happened out of my mind, focus on the machine and whatever magazine I am reading. Today it was Shambhala Sun a Buddhist Quarterly with a couple of good articles on finding Zen in crisis and about the 17th Karmapa.
I recommend them both for a bit of wool gathering as well as some tips on finding new things about yourself in this time of struggle.
