Haven't seen you for a while...

So what's been happening with me? Honestly, not a lot on this front. As per my previous post(s), the road to enlightenment has been taking a back seat. I found myself in a period of notable stress, and more than a few road blocks to my goal of regular practice. Read: when the practice is most needed, it's abandoned. Since my last writing, I have made several strides into a healthier lifestyle, cleaning up my diet, and adding exercise... even a little progress in the 'intoxicants' category (namely, cutting back the drinking). So suffice to say, some level of mindfulness has been established. It's my sincere hope that I'll take advantage of this "fairer weather" and make some strides towards establishing that formal daily meditation habit.
