I can sit still physically, but quieting my mind is still hard for me. 🙁 But yes, we just let it pass and try again tomorrow. I appreciate that, Beverley. I need to be reminded often of that; there’s no failure in it.

At first i would sit for only a couple of minutes before i became fidgety and my brain started meandering at will, but in time things began settle more quickly and i could stay still and quiet for longer and longer time. Then i added meditating twice a day and i must say i am more successful in the evenings than in the mornings, but i just let it pass and try again tomorrow.

Yes, we could sit with the breath quote (and breathe through it!) for quite some time. Then return to it afresh the next day. I love it too.

It’s nice to know you’re still doing that too, Beverley. I’ve been trying to be more consistent in 2015 to take 20 minutes a day to do Centering Prayer. I haven’t been successful at sitting every day, but at night it’s definitely becoming a more consistent practice. And it is blessing my life too. God just gives and gives and gives to us….

Hope you’re getting some needed breaths this weekend, Floyd. But I’m guessing the weekend is when you go into overtime. ha. Take time off when you need it though.

I’m sure you definitely are having days (weeks!) where you feel you don’t have time to catch your breath. But yes, do remember to slow down and breathe deeply. There is always time for those mini-breaks with God. Praying for your move to go smoothly!
