Day 83

I began the day with coffee on the patio with my friend, Colleen, which was lovely. We visited and simply enjoyed each other’s company until Colleen headed out to work.

For a little while, I sat on the floor with Colleen’s two aging Labradors – enjoying their enthusiastic moans and barks as I scratched and played with them.

I spent the remainder of the morning meditating and chanting, both of which bring me great Peace.

Later in the day, I spoke with my sister Marybeth and still later with my sister Emily and brother in law Anders.

Overall, I kept a fairly low profile just being.
