Resilience...

that's my word for the day. Last night I made myself sick on cupcakes, I almost thought I was going to get the spins. Well it might also had something to do with running from 6am-1am non stop but...I blame the sugar. However, I slept in this morning, went for a bike ride, and did Kriya and I feel like a new woman. It seems like my quest to find balance is in motion (although I doubt 4 cupcakes counts as balanced). It is nice to have the flexibility to eat a little of everything without cutting anything out of my diet completely.
Today was supposed to be my first day of silence. Hmmm. Well I didn't realize how hard it was going to be. I had this vision that 12 hours of silence wouldn't be that big of a deal. My first mistake? I didn't get a chance to speak with my family and warn them first. I didn't feel like I could wake up not talking without giving them prior warning.  Plus it is the only thing on my goal list that I have no experience with. I know from previous experience that the learning curve is always steep. Next Sunday I will be prepared. Tuesday we have our family meetings so I will find out how the family feels about my experiment and see what I can do to make them feel comfortable. I will do my best to have a mellow Saturday evening so that Sunday morning will be a little easier. Tomorrow I will fill out my report card and find out how the first week stacks up.
