12/7/09 Meditation Class, Costco, Commercials.

Rain woke me up this a.m. to tell me that she and her family are going to Conn to spend Chirstmas with Ry's parents. She and Violet were planning to stay with me while Ry and Xavier went to Conn. Sadly with the death of Whitey (Ry's grandpa) and other terrible troubles that the Ry's parents are suffering through --the kids are going to support them. I have to applaud them because they had to spend their Christmas $$$ to do this good deed.

Rain wants Luke and I to come with. Ry's parents really do up Chirstmas and she know that I'd enjoy that but $$$$$. Luke and I have so many things that need doing in the house. I don't know. Also, it's the HiNi thing. I'm still not at my top strength and MKate is worried that a plane ride would not do me any good. I don't know. (even though I do)

Meditation class was peaceful. Deeply peaceful. I let myself swim in the ocean of peace. Baba used to say that we have to distance ourselves from outward events. Sometimes it's harder than others but we have to try every day. What happens in the world is transient. What happens inside is eternal. I try to work on that every day.

After class, I went home and got ready for the dentist. The office had no heat. Evidently, the landlord doesn't care. The process wasn't too bad --if you don't mind having your jaw held open by a contraption. It's a good thing that Dr. H is fun and that his assistant is a perfect foil for him.

I went home to rest up. When MKate was finished working, we went to Costco for Christmas shopping. I had to get sweet items for Luke's secretaries. It was fun to see all the stuff. I'm almost finished shopping.

I'm thinking about peace and how you have to trust God. You have to put your hand in his. That's how my mom lived.
