I managed to get many things done.. but somehow was in a fog just the same. I went in to my Burlington office for the first time in several weeks. I&#8217;ve been on-site a few times, but haven&#8217;t made it upstairs to my actual desk.&nbsp; been either&nbsp; working from home, traveling in NY, at meeting in town (e.g. Champlain) or on vacation. It felt really weird to be walking around work.. Just like my experience with shopping, I&#8217;m observing that I don&#8217;t necessarily want to be seen. I catch&nbsp; myself &#8216;slinking&#8217; down the hall hoping not to run into anyone I know&#8230; And not running into anyone I know is sort of impossible for me.. anywhere.&nbsp; I say &#8220;I&#8217;m observing&#8221; this about myself, because I&#8217;m trying not to judge which of my current reactions to life are good or bad. They just are.. I&#8217;m guessing that my current new shyness is also a little about the season. maybe it will pass.. or maybe this is who I&#8217;m becoming.. we&#8217;ll see. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Again, my day was productive but not noteworthy&#8230; I like these kind of days now.&nbsp;&nbsp; I got home a little late and joined Dines 6PM Yoga class already in progress&#8230; She really worked us today&#8230; I love that class. When we came back in I listened to a&nbsp; message from Avery about a Sam moment she had yesterday. (You can listen to it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samstones.org\/music\/avery.mp3\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a>) I&#8217;m having and hearing of so many of these wierd coincidences in the past weeks. Our Antennae are up !<\/p>\n<p>While I was recording Avery&#8217;s message, I lifted a copy of the message that&#8217;s still on our voicemail at home.. (listen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samstones.org\/music\/answeringmachine.mp3\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a>)&nbsp; I like listening to it.. Eventually, I guess we should change it.. but I don&#8217;t want to yet. You can even here our old bird Gabby in the background.. <\/p>\n<p>Another audio story&#8230; I&#8217;m trying to get back into the regular meditation practice that I&#8217;ve done for years&#8230; I was wondering struggling to lie down and do it.. When I finally did last night I realized how deep the associations I had with my old favorite meditation music.. most folks repeat something.. a mantra&#8230;&nbsp; to themselves to help them shut out idle chatter in their minds and help them focus . My mantra with this music was always &#8216;&#8230; diane..&nbsp; max.. sam.. gabe &#8230; diane.. max.. sam.. gabe&#8230; &#8216; . I realize I was avoiding the music .. and my meditation.. because I felt the mantra would make me sad&#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As soon as I tried it again I found that it actually made me happy.&nbsp;&nbsp; My love for my family is still and will always  be whole&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well.. gotta go and meditate now.. Namaste folks.. namaste Sam.<\/p>\n<p>-me\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Busy day today. I managed to get many things done.. but somehow was in a fog just the same.
