Meditation

Henry participates in an exercise program after school one day per week. They do all kinds of different fitness activities like yoga, martial arts, jumprope, and they are also learning about meditation. Henry demonstrated this for us the other day.
We've had a busy couple of weeks around here - this month is busy for me for work and I feel like we've had a million other little activities to do. I am co-chairing an event in the community called "Celebration of Women" that is monopolizing some of my time as well. I checked my email the other day and let out an audible sigh. Henry said, "What's wrong, Mommy?" I answered, "I'm just a little stressed out." Henry thought about this for a minute and said, "I can show you how to meditate. That helps with stress." So we meditated a bit. It was kind of nice. Then he went to bed and I made myself a martini. Because some days, meditation can only get you so far.
