* Morning walk - Small Hook - 42 minutes - 306 calories - 121 Avghbpm - Podcast: Audio Dharma - The Eight Winds.

A random puppy joined me on my walk this morning.  I had to stop a couple of times and play with him.  It's been a long time since I played with a fat hyper puppy - it made me very happy.  When I got to Ferryboat road - he wandered off.  His owners really should be more careful, but it was nice to have his company. 

The podcast I listened to during my walk was just exactly what the doctor ordered for my  somewhat discontented and confused state lately.  It's funny how the help comes if you just relax, open yourself up and let the universe in. :-)

Morning Walk: Aspire Podcast Sept. 20th &  Joanna Macy - Sarvodaya Benefit Talk pt. 1

* Listening to the Joanna Macy talk I liked how she talked about breathing in the Breath meditation she did at the end. This was the best part of the talk, and I wish I could clip it out all by itself to listen to for inspiration on days I just don't feel like I have the time to sit.

* I watched the debates like a good citizen last night.  I guess I'm too informed from listening to the talk radio shows and CNN because all I heard was blah blah blah blah - - nothing new, nothing to even perk up my interest.  I did find Sarah Palin well rehearsed and poised.  There is that.
