Well, not really. I have completed my seven-day intro, continuing my normal day to day routine of eating and lack of movement. I have also completed my 30 days of trying to turn my life around, to include giving meditation a fair shot and some serious time, cutting back on eating every Little Debbie cake … Continue reading Zen is Upon Me

37 Days to Zen – 1 is a Lonely Number
When I wake up in the morning, I will be one day closer than I was a month ago. And with my back feeling much better, I will be one day closer to exercising again. Now that I am a professional reader I have started two books at once. Surfing the Himalaya's by Frederick Lenz … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 1 is a Lonely Number
37 Days to Zen – 2 Left
Two days left until I have my answer. The question: Is it possible for me to find Zen in 30 Days? Unless I bump into some guy named Zen in the corner store in the next few days, I will assume the answer is no. I do feel better though, minus my back from the … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 2 Left
37 Days to Zen – 3 days left… Broken Back Included
With three days left to find true Zen, it might be impossible. Especially since I am about four days late with this post. Unfortunately, I fell four feet backward off a trailer, striking asphalt, which unbelievably has very little give to it. I hopped up quickly, walked it off, and figured I would just be … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 3 days left… Broken Back Included
37 Days to Zen – 4 Days Left
Four days to go, or should I say four years to go... It will be like a walk up the side of a mountain in Nepal, barefoot, in the snow, with no Sherpa...carrying enough food to feed the rest of the monastery. And pulling a dead horse. But it will be worth it. Food intake … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 4 Days Left
37 Days to Zen – 5 to Go
I remember a month ago I was typing out however many days to death. Or days to a heart attack, or stroke. I do feel better. I know I have said that over and over the last week's worth of posts, but I do. I am calmer. I am a little happier. Maybe not even … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 5 to Go
37 Days to Zen – 6 to Go
Six days to go until I am sitting at the top of a mountain... All because I bit into a York Peppermint Patty. It won't be Zen, but I am 31 days closer. I am much closer to Zen than I was more than a month ago. I know what I want. It's not a … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 6 to Go
37 Days to Zen – The Final Week
A week out of total and complete Zen, and I find myself searching even more. Searching for wisdom. Searching for peace. Searching for knowledge. Searching for total Zen. I woke up this morning and downed a few pieces of sausage for breakfast, washing it down with some ice cold orange juice. Lunch was a cheat, … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – The Final Week
37 Days to Zen – 8 to Go
Eight days until Zen hits me square in the face, either that or reality. I have been swamped for the past few days dealing with family issues and haven't been able to blog, but hopefully, I can find time over the next week to continue this until the end. I am still watching what I … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 8 to Go
37 Days to Zen – 9 to Go
With nine days to go, it at least is getting easier. I feel better; I feel lighter, I feel healthier, I feel that my mind is better off. The past two days I have spent in nature, away from my phone and computer, away from the sounds of society, and away from the stresses that … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 9 to Go
