Snowflakes

Just a few scattered ones today.  Spent the day with my friend Sue at a silent Mindfulness retreat.   It was Sue's birthday and she invited me to join her and start her year off with this little treat.  It was really refreshing.  I tend to be a bit of an introvert and definitely was ok with the silent part.  By about the 5th hour of meditation though I had had enough.  The day was broken up with seated meditation, lying down, guided, quiet and walking types.  Definitely centering and mindful.  Saw this milkweed with the snowflakes on my way in and then put the phone away for the remainder of the day.
