I was thinking about what to write about today and nothing came to mind. I started thinking about that thought. The thought of nothing. I am sitting here- home on a Saturday evening. I didn't really do much today. I had planned on going to work out and attending a yoga class but I slept in with my 5 year old in bed beside me. I brainstormed about upcoming workshops this afternoon and worked on some creative projects but that's pretty much it. My five year old is in already back in bed with a fever and I am just sitting around surfing the web and being enlightened reading websites and blogs. But it hit me that this nothingness that I refer to is anything but that. It is my life and the truth. It may not be the most exciting of days in my life and nothing eventful to write about but that does not change the fact that this is happening and this is my life. It is something. And that something is actually quite large.

Quite an interesting perspective!
I'm pretty sure that I won't be doing nothing ever again :)
Hope your five year old feels better soon.
Cheers!
