Retreats

Sooo.... this past weekend I went on a retreat near the beautiful ocean and was just tickled with all of this time I spent just being.

I really am trying to just stay in the moment but I must admit, it does get hard at times!

On the bright side, here I am at work and finding out very quickly that this job also does not entail too much work on my part! Actually, I don't think the phone has rung once for the actual department. It's so laid back and calm. The girl who's training me told me that I really should bring in my homework to work on during the day. I responded with a very unladylike grunt. But, I did not bring my school work today because it was the first day... so, thanks for the permission for tomorrow!!!

I did get to look up a topic for my presentation. I decided on talking about somatic massage...or body-mind massage. Basically, it's about releasing emotions. I find this very interesting. At first I was going to just talk about doing massage and meditation and how it could help with client retention but then I remember taking this class that was an introductory course a long ways back... so... hmmm.... sounds like a great idea!

Well, here we are with a new topic and actually one that I find of interest.

Ohhh, I ended up talking about work instead of the retreat. Ummm..... it was a great experience where I found myself meditating by the ocean, going for walks on the beach, and actually jogging a trail by the creek nearby. It was definitely a wonderful experience. Ahhh... thank goodness for retreats! Of course I also spent time in the 'meetings' throughout the day and mingling with fellow 12 steppers but I must say, this was something I'm truly grateful for doing.

Ahhh, must go back to doing research for my presentation!
