days 26-32

Days 26-32: I went to Hawaii with a couple of friends. Both are meditators. It was amazing. I know, I know. Of course it was amazing, I was in Hawaii after all. Besides the obvious reason, like the beauty of the place, I was able to relax in a way I haven’t in years. This was the first time I had gone away for more than a few days and I felt my anxiety melt away. I meditated every day. I sat outside with the sound of the ocean and the light breeze and I closed my eyes. Some days were easier and some days were less so, but it’s finally starting to feel like a real part of my life and I’m so grateful. Today is my first day home and I haven’t sat down yet but I will!
