RI, my calender says its "Waiting for the Barbarians Day." Since my #2 is at your house playing with your#2, I guess your wait is over. :):):) (I think I'll go take a nap!) p.s. if your in that "little room" in your house...is it really all that quiet???

Meditation: I usually pray everyday but I don't know if that can be classified as meditation. I'm more in the line of Ceal, I read (from whatever) and reflect on certain things that may pertain to me. I do have a room in my house that is strictly off limits to noise, but I see that my hubby has smuggled a small TV in there. I must correct that situation.

I take meditation for my stopped-up node.

beautiful downtown topeka - you are asking that question of a nurse. We neither like nor dislike watching that sort of thing. It's all part of the job. :o)

I made a nice zen room in my house, and though I don't really meditate, I do go in there for quiet and thinking.

I have a large box in my living room that flashes random images lulling me into a deep since of mindlessness...then Bill O'Reilly comes on and I come down hard.

I bet Alison smokes up.

agree with ceallach, meditating on scripture even while doing other things.

yes, yes and yes, I also use two other forms of meditation daily one or both as necessary: progressive muscle relaxation; and focused breathing. these are an important part of why my heart has regained strength in the last three years.

gootsi gets the funny hat today!

where's Inmate? maybe he's meditating in solitary? little too much trick or treat joy there?

Do you see Oompa Loompas?

Waiting for the barbarians day, eh? Sounds promising . . I come from a long line of barbarians. Thus, they've always been my downfall:)

How can Bush challenge Dimcrats about tax increses, when they have done the worst tax increase in any administration by way of deficit spending. Deficit spending is the worse form of government tax though not termed as Tax. Somebody someday have to find money to pay this deficit either by a form of tax and/or cutting back services to the less fortunate. Regan did it from 1.7 to 4.3 trillion. and now Bush did it from 5.3 to 7.8 trillion. Who is responsible for this expenditure???
