Slowly I am seeing my reaction to things improve between meditation sessions, the longer I have been meditating. There are still highs and lows, but the lows aren't as often and are not taken as seriously, and the highs are better. Sleep helps so much, too. It makes my meditation more effective and makes life so much more livable. Sleep deprivation induces a depression for me that goes away as soon as I get enough sleep.

I have lots of things coming up. Lots of research to do as always, learning about weeds for a couple different things, the Ithaca Festival is this weekend. I also need to go looking for berry bushes, which will have berries in about a month. I like having a lot of variety. Even the best thing is boring when it's the same. Differences challenge me and are a lot more interesting.
