Openly. This is getting insane. Stan and I are going Tuesday, hopefully with fewer nutjobs in attendance. Maybe they all went opening weekend. 28794. thoughtful - 12/21/2015 4:21:22 PM Just stopped in to wish everyone a happy winter solstice. Here comes the sun!
 28795. arkymalarky - 12/21/2015 6:12:13 PM Love it! You too! Hope all is going well. It's been a while since we've heard from you! 28796. thoughtful - 12/22/2015 4:29:56 AM Yeah things are going well now. Had my gall bladder out...how exciting is that!
I've also been taking classes in mindfulness...it's been very healing and empowering.
I've also been volunteering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
I'm expecting 16-18 for xmas dinner with some get togethers before and after too. So life is good.
Hope all is going well with everyone here. 28797. ms. no - 12/23/2015 6:04:24 AM I have a mini mindfullness coloring book. That and Zentangle are as close as I get to meditation currently. Thanksgiving last year my whole family sat and colored together for hours. I'm excited for the fad since it means there are a ton of great adult coloring books.
I've done some semi-mindful creative writes with my students to focus them and get them to be more descriptive in their writing. They do pretty well, but I'm not sure if it necessarily translates to their other writing, but I think it will the more we do it. 28798. judithathome - 12/24/2015 10:28:19 PM Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....!! 28799. arkymalarky - 12/25/2015 6:06:02 PM What Judith said! 28800. ms. no - 12/26/2015 9:20:55 PM Merry merry!! 28801. judithathome - 12/28/2015 10:30:52 PM We're still here....my granddaughter watched the tornado travel toward the Dallas area from her patio...where we had been for Christmas.

Went up there last weekend and saw lots of water. 28809. judithathome - 1/3/2016 9:29:43 PM You mean that little stream down the road from you with the interesting bridge is not overflowing?
I know there is something special about that bridge but I can't remember what it is.... 28810. arkymalarky - 1/3/2016 11:06:37 PM Just old. Water was over it a bit. It. Didn't last long. 28811. arkymalarky - 1/7/2016 5:32:57 AM International happy new year from my second favorite site to the mote.

28812. Ms. No - 3/13/2016 7:50:34 PM Saw a great concert last night -- Cage the Elephant headlined and they kicked ass! Four total bands with Silversun Pickups, Foals, and Bear Hands. I expected SSPU to be my next faves, and their frontman gives excellent show, but I liked Foals' music more. I only knew one of their songs going in, but I'm streaming three of their albums on Prime today trying to figure out what my digital purchases will be.
I can't remember why I got out of the habit of seeing live music. It's like I held onto the concept of "expensive" from my college days when $50 for a concert ticket was something I could maybe do once a year.
It seems like tickets have gotten cheaper in general, or maybe it's just that the bands I want to see are less expensive. At any rate, I intend to see a lot more music than I have in the past.
