Back in work today, mental state was tentative at first, nervy. I consciously stopped what I was doing, and started breathing, focusing my mind on relaxing the body, and the mind followed. I talked a little to my still-drunk colleauge(who was supposed to be at the Ireland game last night, but got lost on the way to the stadium!). That lightened my mood a little.

I didn't have the time or energy to meditate last night, so I am looking forward to getting home tonight and practicing. I am going to light a candle, and sit in burmese posture for a while. Looking forward to it now!
