Falling, falling

i've crashed and burned since summer came to a close and i returned to work.  Forgot to keep life centered and balanced.  Became tired and forgot about doing something new every day. 

So to start again - a reflection on the discipline of speech:

Speak the truth at all cost. Speak a little. Speak sweetly. Always utter encouraging words. Never condemn, criticize or discourage. Do not raise your voice and shout at little children or subordinates.

So to recenter, i have goal that need to be met this week.  I have completely lost my center, so to start with the basics:

- no more nicotine
- continue on without coffee
- reduce caffeine back to no more than one drink per day for now
- resume whole food vegan diet
- drink more water
- keep on top of health issues / don't miss pills
- resume meditation
- tae kwon do, running, or other class daily


New things i have done today:
- spoke swahili with my daughter
- started education blog with my students
- had a pumpkin party with students
- stuck up for myself at work
- listened to my daughter sing soul sista - all the words this time
