Once you have read a bazillion books on awakening, you now have a blank slate to face each day. It is called “Taking care of yourself from moment to moment.” This is quite a job. You are just as much trouble as a two-year-old toddler. I know that because I am the same way.

I get tempted by an open box of chocolates and spoil my dinner. All of the adult no no’s are still in operation even if you know a thing or two about enlightenment. No should ever be smug about how far they have come.

I even find peace and silence unsettling and rush to sow seeds of fear and anxiety. I go out for a walk and for a few minutes I remain silent. Then my mind is off to the races again. It whines, “I’m bored. Gimme something to think about or want!”

This weekend I will plant myself in front of the TV and watch the Royal Wedding unfold. The Queen is plotzing in her Pampers at the thought of the new member of the family. But she can’t let on. She is just like us. She dislikes her in-laws.

Okay, so this is a sassy note written on a late Friday afternoon. I ate a ham sandwich before five o’clock and threw down a handful of candy. Oh, yum. I love boxed chocolates and Kroger had them on sale for practically nothing.

I hope a handful of you are enjoying my ebook. Do me a solid and let me know if you are. The verdict is not in on it. What if I am mistaken about thinking I have something to say? I guess it’s too late now….
