        Good luck to everybody with this challenge!

        I vowed sitting every day over five yours ago (but not always just sitting at the beginning, but also counting the breath and other Buddhist meditation practices). And somehow I found out, that it is much more easy to sit every day (even if it means ten minutes in bed, before falling asleep) than not to sit every day. Perhaps this is because of the routine, like toothbrushing everyday: At some point it isn't very special to sit every day, but it would be special if you wouldn't. So don't give up, not a single day!

            1/1 - Last night I finally had a chance to sit after about a week and a half of having the new baby home.

            By being mindful during my cooking, diaper changing, etc. as Jundo suggested, I did find a place for my practice during this exhausting time. It was still nice to get back on the zafu.

                    1/1 and 1/365 resetting after tough week or two
                    If I'm already enlightened why the hell is this so hard?

                              I am going to take this challenge...I vow to sit at LEAST once a day for at LEAST 15 minutes...but I'm going to try for twice a day for 30 minutes each.
