- Lie down in corpse pose with my legs propped at 90 degrees on a chair and my body covered with a blanket.
- Breathe.
- Walk around the block without the dog.
- Cuddle with the dog and tune into his energy.
- Clean one thing.
- Go to bed early.
What do you do?
I've begun reading Sarah Ban Breathnach's book, Simple Abundance, which is a daybook for one year. I've also started keeping a gratitude journal - five things every evening. Breathnach suggests that we become "curators of our own contentment," which I find a delicious phrase and a worthy project for the new year.

I have Simple Abundance-- I thought it was a great book. I will have to pull it out again. ;-)
I don't have a good list of things I do for myself. Its something I need work on. Cuddling the cats is one thing that comes to mind. I really need to work on this...
So good to see you posting again Inanna! I have missed you!
I pop the dog into the car and we take a long ride out into the country. I try to find someplace to stop where the dog can run free and I can just space out, out there. Someplace we haven't been before.
