Thirty Day Challenge: Good Things Are Happening!
I'm keeping up with my five minute habits, as part of my Thirty Day Challenge. You should join me--I'm four days in and already, good things are happening.
For one thing, I gave up caffeine again. I'd been tapering off and then went cold turkey on Saturday. Instead of the ten day SufferFest I had the last time, I really only felt "off" for two days, and then by Monday, I felt FANTASTIC. Which reminded me why I want to live in alignment with myself in the first place --because it feels really true and right and good. Because I am patient and loving and kind. There's this...expansiveness of goodness that happens when I'm not feeling rotten as a result of doing things that don't serve me.
I think it's interesting that the things I struggle with the most (especially meditation) are the ones I want the most.
Anyway, I have a big post in the works--actually, I have, like, SEVENTEEN posts in the works --but wanted to pop in for a quick update. I hope you are feeling fantastic, too, and these little five minute challenges are helping you find your own alignment.
Namaste,
Barb

Like Dixie, you inspired me to try to knit socks. I didn't get very far, but will complete them sometime.
Look forward to your progress on your 30 day challenge. It is something that would be a good idea for all of us to focus on.
The way I got started in sock knitting is through this online PICTORIAL/tutorial (I'm a visual learner) called Silver's Sock Class. Google that (since I don't know how to link in the comments) and there will be several tutorials up now. I used the socks on four double pointed needles. That's STILL how I knit them. Good luck and keep me posted! Here: maybe you can cut and paste. http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/SockClass_Start.htm

Oh well, whenever you think of it, pick up and carry on! The rest of us are routing for you!
