It's a weekend day! The first weekend day wherein I'm devoting time that would be writing here to writing in blogs. Though, I'm also trying to be better about making "wife's day" (aka Saturday)... wife's day. So we'll see how much time I devote to writing today.

The goal will still be to post something tomorrow. Or, rather, have it ready to post, but maybe I take a bit to set up the blog area.

Meditation (Day 37)

New prime number day? New prime number day! Woo.

Definitely haven't mastered stage 3. I do, in fact, still forget the breath. Also, while breath is often in awareness, I'm not so sure it's in "conscious awareness". I think there's a difference.

I do believe I'm getting better at regularly invoking introspective attention, though, which is also helping me achieve vigilant introspective awareness in some cases. So, mastery will come with time, as long as I'm digilent about practicing and improving, which currently I am.

Not even disappointed that I'm not as far along as I thought (thought I was working on stage 5 at one point). It's good to know where I am. And I'm still getting some solid effects from practicing meditation that last well after I'm off the cushion.

What I'm saying is: even if progress is slow, I don't see myself getting impatient and giving up anytime soon.
