(no subject)
Following on from my deliberate recommitment to mindfulness practice and the pursuit of joy, today I completed day 5 (without any skipped days!) of guided meditation in the morning before work. I'm enjoying it so far; it really does seem to settle the mind and ground the day in some sort of balance.
This was borne out today in particular, because as the practice exercise came to an end with the chiming of the timer, it transmuted immediately into the ringing of my cell phone with a call from my mother's long term care insurance for a nurse consult/claim assessment. That, let me tell you, is definitely something where being calm helps, so that was a nice little bit of serendipity.
In other news that is good, who else is delighted by the return of the X-Files? I don't even care (well, much) if the episodes we get aren't that great, because we are GETTING them. Besides, now that we know Darin Morgan's signed on to write at least one, and that Glen Morgan and Jim Wong are evidently both confirmed to be involved as well, I am super optimistic.
("Mulder, it's me." AAAAAHHHH MY HEART. All hail Dana Scully, forever!)
