Staying Positive

I just got back from a week spent with the family for Thanksgiving.  Why is it that spending time with family can be the most stressful of times?  I love my family and due to my parents getting up in age I am moving so I can live closer to them BUT I am not used to the endless stream of questions that come when I am home for a few days.  I am an independent person so I am out of my comfort zone when I am with a bunch of people at all times.

I haven't been able to get into the float tank or even be still in almost a week and I notice that the moments of awareness have lessened a bit.  There were some debates with family when I noticed that I was getting agitated.  I was able to take a step back and realize that I was reacting to a situation.  I have been very conscientious not to react to things but to think and become aware, then to act on things.  It is a growing process and I am so excited that becoming awake is the path that I am on.

All that being said I really enjoyed my time home.  The food was fantastic.  I ate way too much, watched way too much football and took far too many naps.  Isn't that what Thanksgiving with family is all about?  I say yes.
