I am in Mexico for 2 months on vacation where the weather is a constant 75 with a lovely breeze. What a good place to meditate and figure out what is important to me in life. I love goals and marking off to do lists and being organized and tidy. That is all well and good, but what about the inner me that sometimes does not want to be organized with a completed to do list? I brought my Nook and my knitting and am having such a free and relaxing time just getting good at knitting which I just learned to do. There is no post office in our little village and we have no car, so I can't get letters sent, there is no pick up locally, so my e-mail is my communication and I am loving it. I do miss alot of my craft things and hearing Englich spoken and having conveniences like a garbage disposal, a dryer and a vacuum, but what the heck, we are in reality and it is helping me get a better perspective on what is really important. I hung clothes out on a clothes line this morning and enjoyed nature at the same time. We are walking to the market for groceries and learning how to improvise when I don't have a certain ingredient, not bad, and we haven't gone hungry yet. We have no TV and my husband and I are having the best conversations, refuse to talk politics or sadness, and it is a wonderful way of life. My physical health seems to be improving as fast as my mental health, and I plean to continue. Diane
