Thanks for another great practice!  I didn’t get up early enough this morning to do this before my kids woke up, so they were loudly playing video games in the background.  “this too” felt like the perfect mantra as I tried to tune them out during meditation.   

corinne I too have to practice "this too" with the video games! It's not easy!

I enjoyed making my list of 15 joyful activities. I have slowly been reconnecting with friends (with appropriate social distancing) and have noticed how much happier I am when I can really connect with a friend.

Francie Thanks for letting me know. Yes, I agree that friendship is key. Keep delving into those joyful activities! Margi

"this too" reminds me of the "yes, and" principle we are using in training the school docents at the Asian Art Museum, and both phrases share the sentiment  “The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you.” Recognition, but then the ocean has to get to work!

"this, too" "yes, and" "only connect"  are all good phrases to consider...

I know "yes and" from sketch comedy! So helpful. And today I am going to try "only connect." Thanks so much for your thoughts Melissa 

very sweet practice and nice to follow on with the brief meditation at the end. thanks Margi.

Matthew S Thanks for letting me know Matthew. My fac combo is a little movement and some stillness. Hope this new year is treating you well. Margi
