Today is Jason's first day back at college and he had to drop to part time at work in order to take classes. It's going to mean a lot of changes in our routines (and finances) that I'm going to have to get used to. I'm going to try and take your lead and look at how luck I am in the moment instead of worrying about the changes. .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://eri-thon.blogspot.com/2009/12/snowy-day.html" rel="nofollow">Snowy Day</a> =-.

I'm also lucky that even though I get distracted by many things easily, that I still have creative ideas and remember to write them down for those times I can break my distractions.

Namely when I wake up on vacation and realize that I can sleep in, have warm blankets to cover me, a dog who loves me, a great supportive family and network of friends. A blog that people read. A job that keeps me gainfully employed and allowed to save and cover the basics. That I'm growing and learning each day. Change is hard, but it's so rewarding and good at the same time, at least once we are used to it. .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://walkingwithnora.com/2009/12/28/new-year-new-name/" rel="nofollow">New Year, New Name!</a> =-.

But yah, I totally have those moments. Its usually when I go and spend more money than I need to at the grocery store because I get so excited about all the fun things they have. I'll see the price and cringe a little, but then I think how lucky I am that I CAN pay it. I mean, Im not rolling in money by any means, but I have a place to live and my bills are all paid. We should think about these things more. Its so easy to get caught up in all the little things, that we forget about what matters.

I love your cat! My sister's loves to get as close as possible too and if you don't let her on your lap while your sitting on the couch, she'll settle for sitting by your head. I think more people need to start thinking about how lucky they truly are, me being one of them. It seems that most people get stuck thinking about the unimportant things and what they DON'T have instead of what really matters. .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://daintyvegan.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/the-material-side-of-christmas-other-great-things/" rel="nofollow">The Material Side of Christmas + Other Great Things</a> =-.

I am not a fan of resolutions but yours is great. Something for me to think about. It's difficult to incorporate mindfulness when I'm so used to being anxious about one thing or another, being set in my routine, or being a negative nelly. What is the best way to rework these patterns to live in the moment? .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://goodiesgalore.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/yo/" rel="nofollow">Yo.</a> =-.
