Last school year was a challenging one...and so it seemed extra-good to be at home with the family and be.<BR/>Now that I'm back, I'm remembering how good it is to get to know a new group of students!<BR/>(Hmm...aybe we'll put up some applesauce when the late apples come in... ;)nerolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058241267779350866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519115781358057137.post-54519560437365351782007-09-10T00:52:00.000-05:002007-09-10T00:52:00.000-05:00The lazy hazy crazy days of summer...you wish that...The lazy hazy crazy days of summer...you wish that summer would always be here!

This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we realise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances or our perceptions of others to the contrary. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. And it’s extremely relaxing!"beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128812845273224940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519115781358057137.post-42243000475752611302007-09-08T09:55:00.000-05:002007-09-08T09:55:00.000-05:00I also just had one of those weeks where I wondere...I also just had one of those weeks where I wondered if I'm just spinning my wheels.

Other times, I can be creative with my thoughts which will relax me. No rhyme or reason to why I'm affected differently, but really have to work on the Needless Worry thing.
