Five minutes

Five minutes is about what I have right now.  Beginning a slightly modified Dragon's Way for myself today and there's Qigonging to attend to.

Schooling friends have the week off and Daniel will be with us today and Wednesday.  Baseball practice Thursday and Sunday and the kids' first season begins next Monday.  Gem has decided to drop art class feeling overwhelmed by Spring activity.  We three enjoyed Hop with friends yesterday.  Went out to dinner with Sag last night.  If you have more than one kid, I can't over emphasize the import of spending time one-on-one with just one kid.  It's a lot of fun and there's something energizing, and healing, about the focus of attention.

My task of the week will be beginning my personal Dragon's Way (modifications to the program will be slight in the food area).  I have about four weeks till I leave for Spain and my body and mind are ready for the Spring cleansing.

Another task I am setting out for myself is to do some serious thinking about this organizational/storage mess:


Between newly acquired winter boots and rain boots (not to mention cleats which remain out in the common hallway, looking none too pretty, I might add), our shoe storage shelves are clearly overwhelmed.  The mess of "things to go out" on top of the shelves has become an open dump of clutter.  The photo dropped down from the wall and has not been put back up...for a few weeks now.

I look forward to posting an "after" picture sometime in the next few weeks...

Peace and love and cleansing to you.

I always enjoyed when I had one-on-one time with my nephews. Glad you are able to do it with the boys.

I need to do some serious spring cleaning myself!
