Trying to pratice loving-kindness


This has not been a week that I would normally want to talk about with other people, but with ths week's reading and blog assignment it almost seems necessary. 

My maternal grandmother passed away last week after being ill for the last 18 months, so I had to take emergency leave and be with my mother during this hard time.  So on my way back to Virginia Beach the other day I finally had a chance to catch up on some reading and I attempted to meditate for at least 10 minutes; I couldn't do it!!  I couldn't get my mind to stick to the plan and all it wanted to do was think of everything that I had to catch up on.. work and school .... it was almost overwhelming.  I had thoughts of dropping classes this semester and then thoughts of just put your big girl panties on and suck it up. 

I honestly enjoyed everything on our reading list this week and I will continue to practice on the meditation!!    Hey you’re only defeated if you admit to it right.  J

Ready ... Set ... Go

Happy Saturday everyone!!

I've never done a blog and this will probably be the hardest thing I've had to do for a class .. but I'll try my best! :-P

I honestly believe that I will benefit from this class not so much my GPA but for my own personal sanity!  Looking forward to these next 8 weeks!

Best wishes!!!
Jessica
