Balancing Life + Work + School + Travel
It’s tricky. Balancing everything and not getting run down or losing your head. The first half of today was quite easy and generally okay, no real problems and I since things at work weren’t working (the internet) I went home to work from there. Unfortunately, the VPN to my desktop still doesn’t work and I’ll try a last ditch effort and allow the IT people to log into my home computer, snoop around in the settings, and then also snoop around in my router just to make sure it’s nothing on my side (I already hooked directly up to the cable modem and still no go). So we’ll see.
On the reiki front, I feel it. It’s interesting. It’s much stronger when I’m giving reiki to another person (or the cats) than to myself right now. I feel it in the bones of my hands, and closer to the wrists. But I do feel general warmth and tingling from the surface of my palms. I’m going to keep it up for at least 21 days straight (as instructed) and try to notice any differences in me, and… really everything around me. Mostly opportunities that present themself, no matter what they are… things that I can truly attribute to this experience, which I’m hoping will only aid in my general goal of living life deliberately.
Okay. So these aren’t my pictures. Yet. But I can’t wait. Ok. Promise. No more pictures of China until we’re actually there taking our own. Got it? Got it. Promise.
My latest thing (this week) is listening to Pandora.com - their music genome project is pretty cool - introducing me to other music similar to the mood that I’m in. Right now my ’station’ is other artists/songs sounding like Imogen Heap. So I get Regina Spector, Jem, and som Sarah Mac - all good stuff - and then I can switch moods and throw in Our Lady Peace and again, other bands with the same sound or technique come up… it’s perfect for discovering new music similar to what you already like or are in the mood for.
It’s getting late. We’re flying out soon and I’ve still got some other writing to do. Goodnight!
