This week, while exhausting, has been so much more pleasant than last. I had a lovely session of acupuncture of Wednesday, and I am newly invigorated to take care of myself, and eat right, and exercise, etc., etc. My Pilates shifts are filling in nicely, and I'm managing to carve out more free time for myself. I still have a ways to go to have a perfect, well-balanced life (I'm rolling my eyes here), but things are looking up.
One of the things the acupuncturist (who is like a sweet, slightly older Jewish big sister--very caring and cute) encouraged me to do was work toward some kind of meditation or spiritual practice. I've never had much luck with this sort of thing, but while I was lying on the table full of needles, I reflected on how nice it was to have a few minutes in which I did nothing. Generally, sort of like the heroine in the book I read a few weeks back, I tend to fill in empty spaces in my day with books. So, I'm either doing things, or reading. It was nice to be forced to just be quiet and still. So, we'll see how that goes. I'm starting small, like 5 minutes a day, maybe.
