It was fun to observe myself! Well, in spurts . . . I mean I spent most of my "free" time counting down the seconds until the course would end. It wasn't that I wanted to be anywhere else; it was just that I couldn't believe how slowly the time seemed to pass, even the last few days! Loneliness wasn't terrible but boredom YES and I kept imagining random chocolates and ice creams I wanted, even though I'm not much of a foodie -- crazy. Now I just need to practice! Two for two days so far!!Ratna Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557619844289695041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717596991294645248.post-51225596061012977102012-04-02T22:01:05.159-04:002012-04-02T22:01:05.159-04:00Ratna, why does the quality of writing in your pos...Ratna, why does the quality of writing in your posts continually assure me that, someday soon, you'll write the next great Western classic or something? When that day comes, I expect a free signed copy. :)Jorge Bonillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856877258435732249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717596991294645248.post-45218322356929350182012-04-02T04:50:31.374-04:002012-04-02T04:50:31.374-04:00Hey - nice to have you back!

Weren't you afflicted by loneliness and boredom, apart from craving for junk food? It's really creditable that you saw it through - hope the after effects are good!Sonyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717596991294645248.post-40596825082658917842012-04-02T00:15:22.400-04:002012-04-02T00:15:22.400-04:00Why, of course, Danny Boy!Why, of course, Danny Boy!Ratna Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557619844289695041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717596991294645248.post-84780902375289697222012-04-01T20:37:31.440-04:002012-04-01T20:37:31.440-04:00you are too amazing. hope we can meditate together...you are too amazing. hope we can meditate together sometime!Daniel Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415328418588868698noreply@blogger.com
