How about a kitty pic? Here’s Cairo sleeping on Mr. B’s lap, surrounded by the latest additions to my stuffie menagerie (clockwise from the top): bookworm, sleeping sickness, mad cow and toxic mold (which is my favourite). Head over to ThinkGeek to check out their entire giant microbes collection.
Cairo sleeping with giant microbes (click to enlarge)In other news, February is no-TV month in my
household (for the second year in a row), which seemed like a great time to also do the 28-Day Meditation Challenge, based on the book Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation – A 28-Day Program by Sharon Salzberg (which, as you may remember, I bought at Kripalu). When I got back from my Kripalu retreat, I fully intended to start meditating every day, but that didn’t happen. However, as Sharon Salzberg says, “with every breath, we can begin again,” which is exactly what I’m choosing to do this month—with both blogging and meditating.I’ll keep you posted on how I’m doing with the meditation challenge in weekly updates on Wednesdays, which means that, as of next week, my “similar covers” posts will go live on Thursdays instead.
So now that I’m back, let me know what I’ve missed! Oh and Happy Imbolc!
