Finding My Balance

Felt like I needed less distractions in my life..and quite frankly, I could use one less monthly bill...so we suspended our sable service for a few months. I love how quiet my house is now. Now when I look back at having TV I feel like it was rattling my brain and keeping me from having complete thoughts...TV had become too intrusive into my life.

Today, Brett (boyfriend to those that don't know) and I took Brownie (our foster dog) for a hike at Chantry Flats. We decided to take a new trail (new to us) to Hermit Falls. This hike was just what I needed. I had no distractions from technology (glad I had no cell signal) and Brett kept our conversations to a minimum...which was nice. I needed to be alone with my thoughts and to think through somethings that had been on my mind lately. At the end of the hike I was exhausted, overheated, uncomfortable but I also felt the same calmness and serenity that I have at the end of a yoga class. I think everyone needs to take a few hours (at the very least once a week), remove themselves from the outside world and reflect on the week and life in general.

I guess this post has little to do with spirituality specifically, but I think regaining balance and serenity within yourself is imperative to finding your spirituality.
