Day one

My resolution for this year is to meditate every day for one hundred days, and I figured I would be more apt to stick to it if I blog about it.

Why meditate? It all begins with a slight disconnect I've been feeling the past few months (or has it been years?). I think back to high school when I (surprisingly) was the most content and most confident I've ever been. Unsurprisingly, this was also a period of time when I attended 'Sunday Morning Meditation' at the local Kadampa Buddhist Center every week.

Day one proved unsuccessful. I started with simply focusing on my breath, but found myself trying to figure out what song was playing on KEXP in the background and thinking about what I should blog about. Fail. After ten minutes J walked in wondering what I was up to. I was also wearing a Snuggie. Wearing a Snuggie while meditating just made me feel like the lazy love-child of East and West. I suppose I can only improve from here.
