Meditation

For reasons undisclosed in this blog, I have decided to try meditating 5 minutes a day for at least five more days. Last night I closed myself in my son's room with the lights off and attempted feeling inside of myself an evening by the ocean complete with breezes and smells or the feeling of a great view from a mountain after having hiked for a number of hours. You get the point.

Being an unappreciated mom, during yesterday's meditation my partner and son felt no need to turn the volume of their Star Wars Xbox reenactment down while I try to achieve a level of solace in my soul. In today's mental exercise, my face was showered with the excess of water from another's hand washing. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Now I have no ill feeling towards my dear family. Family life naturally comes with a number of idiosyncrasies, and in turn mom's are allotted about as much clarity for thought as pigs are allotted wings for flight. I can get over it. In the meantime I will continue my daily meditations, and if I manage to train my brain to tune those clowns out, I'll be all the better for it.
