I was listening to Jack Kornfield's podcast last night, and partway through it he discusses a moment when he and his guru Ajahn Chah were walking through a field. Ajahn Chah stopped his followers, pointed to a large stone and said,
"Do you think this stone is heavy?"
His followers all replied, "yes, yes indeed!"
Ajahn looked among his followers and said,
"Only if you lift it"
I am thankful this morning I got in almost 8 hours of sleep. That has not happened in a long while.
I am thankful I continue to have energy, am steadily increasing laps around the living room/kitchen and during yoga, there was a moment where I felt like a graceful ballerina rather than a middle aged fool on two stumpy legs. LOL 😉
I am HELLA thankful I decided to try a workaround with the plank and able to achieve a new personal record yesterday with 2 planks, a minute each! I also accomplished 2 full blown non-modified push ups. I was only able to go down about 2 inches, but my form was good and I wasn't shaking. Woohoo!
I am thankful for the extra 1.5 inches I FINALLY lost around my hips. (took long enough) 🤨
Goals today: writing, meditation, listening to some more Jack Kornfield, continuing to catch up on the HSM podcasts. 😁
Have a beautiful, blessed day everyone <3
