hello (stupid, yucky) monday.
This was not my favorite day. I'm not gonna lie…I don't want to say hello to anything else today. I really just want to say good-bye or good night or hang it in your ear. (that is the one swear that I remember my Dad saying when I was little…although I'm probably remembering it wrong, b/c what in the world would that mean??)
Y'know how, when you're digging in the sand on the beach, every time you create a bigger hole, more water floods into it? That's how my day felt. No moving forward or backward, just standing in one place digging a hole.
It's funny, really, b/c I took the time to sit in meditation for 10 minutes this morning. TEN WHOLE MINUTES. That's a long time when you're on your first cup of coffee. It feels like the first few days of a cleanse. Not pretty. Meditation has a way of clearing out the gunk, just like detox. I put myself in time-out this afternoon. Skipped a meeting b/c I knew that I wasn't in the right frame of mind. It's going to be ugly for a few days…but that's how I know it's working.
So. Hello & goodbye to this Monday…and just for good measure? Hang it in your ear.

I’m trying to picture what it would be like if I had the time to meditate. 😉 Screaming baby. Poop. Food and crayons everywhere. Thanks for reminding me that my life won’t always be like this!!
Hopefully today was better!!!

Hmmm. I’m transfixed by this “hang it in your ear” thing. Is it like “shut the front door!” where it sounds like some sort of really naughty phrase if you say it the right way?
