Nikolaus Tag

Not a very productive day. I woke up feeling discombobulated and staggered around getting ready for a visit from Dragonfly. She came over and we chatted, meditated, and then went to lunch at the new Asian place in the neighborhood. The Sparrowhawk was back from his appointment to get glasses, and came along. I had the specialty of the day, delicious pho. I love both pho and udon, but pho is perhaps even a tiny bit better because it has all the fresh herbs and lime juice. The people at this place have limited English, so it was hard for Dragonfly to explain to them what she needed to be gluten free. However, they are super nice and helpful, and I always forget what generous portions they give. I came home and tried to get started with some work, but then Queenie called, and then there was a short nap, and then it was dark so I gave up, ate leftovers, and watched some TV. The end.

The meditation and visiting with Dragonfly was good, though. My intention for the meditation was to remember more and forget less--not remembering ordinary things, but remembering the important ones. Like, that I'm here to make the world more beautiful, and not to be limited by the misguided notions of others.
