a quiet mind

i've been contemplating meditation lately.  not so much weighing out the pros and cons, seeing as how there are no cons that I am aware of, but considering the commitment... finding a starting point and fully dedicating myself to that moment each day.  probably in the morning before the chaos of life rolls in, in the form of a rousing two year old.  i even had my yoga instructor privately guide me through a meditation during our last practice.  it was elevating and soothing and wonderful.  "i want this every day," i told her.  so what a coin-ki-dink that i should run across the following in my latest issue of self magazine.  i really look forward to their last-page tidbits.

we talk about the time we spend sitting, thinking and breathing in a guilty way.  as if the absence of action implies a lack of accomplishment.  but doing nothing is doing something.  by emptying your head of your usual to-dos, you create space for new ideas and experiences.  your mission this month: be still.  you'll build the launch pad for your next adventure.

i'm pretty sure this was a sign.  hello morning mediation!
