Money, Healing and Family
Nothing like having over $2000 in your checking account to make you feel financially secure (nevermind that that extra dough comes from a completely liquidated mutual fund and that $1000 of it is going towards paying school tuition)!
My short weekend of learning Reiki was interesting to say the least. I am now certified to practice Reiki I on anyone -- look out world! But it's been fun; it definitely works, somehow, you just have to let it which is always a strange concept for me (letting things go). My hands have never been so warm in my life! Matt has been very patient and has let me give him truncated Reiki treatments two nights in a row. What a champ!
My aunt, uncle and cousin are here staying with us until after I leave for Italy. It's nice to have family around, and feel like a family again with my own immediate family. It helps that they are likeable people! The only difficulty is trying to find time away to practice yoga, and trying to do it subtly so as not to attract any real attention; I've already had to answer vegetarian questions, now it's only a matter of time before they realize I'm also reading books on Zen and Ayurveda, and practicing yoga for 80 minutes a day. That will be the crunchy liberal tipping point!
It's starting to get down to crunch time in terms of packing for Italy. My packing list still seems dreadfully underwhelming; as I would like it to remain, don't get me wrong, but I know the issue is not that I suddenly have less stuff to bring, it's that I'm leaving tons of things off the list. It'll all get sorted out, I suppose.
