Ten Minutes

I am learning the Art of Meditation. Today I had 10 minutes left on my lunch break so I decided to just sit and meditate in my car before going back in the building. The morning had been very hectic and noisy so I was glad to have some quiet time. I set my alarm on my cell phone for 10 minutes and closed my eyes. I had a hard time clearing my mind of work items but soon my mind was clear and I just relaxed. It was wonderful. However, I started to get antsy and since it felt like 10 minutes had passed I wondered if my cell alarm had been set wrong. I opened my eyes to check and was shocked to see that only 3 minutes had passed. Time apparently slows down when you are not busy.

Find My Zen in 2010

This is my theme for the year. Each year I like to come up with a theme for the year and yes it has to rhyme with the name of the year. It was hard coming up with a theme for 2010. There are not very many rhyming words for ten. My first thought was Let's Try Again in 201o. 2009 was a tough year so it would have worked. Then I came up with Zen. Since one of my resolutions is to find more peace and more energy this year I thought it fit quite well.
