Never thought I'd like them, but this Davidji guy seems okay. I still like sitting meditation the best, on my cushion on the floor, because I can create a space for myself with no interruption. Since I've been writing morning pages though, my practice has suffered, doing both is well over an hour of the morning and I want to get going on the day. I know I shouldn't think of it like that. ;-)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-34405049938226689462012-02-21T15:38:51.558-07:002012-02-21T15:38:51.558-07:00i have been meditating for more than 35 years and ...i have been meditating for more than 35 years and it takes persistence when you start but after a while, you'll find yourself meditating automatically throughout the day...at least that has been my experience.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-85921954921622050812012-02-21T15:33:17.136-07:002012-02-21T15:33:17.136-07:00Trish, yes, they're so-darn-so-darn cute just ...Trish, yes, they're so-darn-so-darn cute just waiting to be picked up and squeezed!

Of course, it's easiest to see looking back! ;-) Yes, I'm liking the clothes pin idea, too. And you & Nat together -- watch out! So cool that you met through blogging.

I'm really loving the idea. They're just so darn cute, sort of like fat little crayons. Oh, I'd love to make baskets someday, have only made a few in my life, was led step-by-step so I learned nothing on my own, just how to follow the leader! But it was still wonderful to come home with my own basket.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-84702506357936909672012-02-20T22:08:16.210-07:002012-02-20T22:08:16.210-07:00Jeannie, you've been right in sync with the wa...Jeannie, you've been right in sync with the waning moon by organizing and purging! I was surprised how many baskets I use, just never thought of it before. How do you store your suitcases? I have 3vintage ones stacked as a nightstand but it's sort of a hassle to get the top one cleared off to get into them. I just keep candleholders and misc. in the top 2 and nothing in the bottom one. But it just feels so good to get everything straightened up and ready to go, doesn't it?Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-77966914541894398352012-02-20T22:02:35.514-07:002012-02-20T22:02:35.514-07:00Marie, I'm glad you like the clothespins as ho...Marie, I'm glad you like the clothespins as holders. I think it's going to work out really well as you can squeeze it just enough to grip onto the loose end. We'll see how it works! I should meditate more. The saying is when you're too busy to meditate, that's when you need to meditate more.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-34618817278660008292012-02-20T14:49:39.704-07:002012-02-20T14:49:39.704-07:00i love baskets and have lots of them...some that i...i love baskets and have lots of them...some that i actually made myself. most are filled with cloth and projects. and thread of course. love the thread on the clothespins. there is a blogger who does that with her newly dyed threads...can't remember who it is.<br />i've listened to many of Deepok Chopra's tapes many years ago and also those of Wayne Dyer who is a good friend of his. all very enlightening.<br />happy sorting and organizing.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-28507889906085214352012-02-20T13:47:38.027-07:002012-02-20T13:47:38.027-07:00Thanks for the meditation link.

I am a basket person as well and have been sorting and purging for 2 weeks. Now I have empty baskets and suitcases (my other storage solution). I am vowing to stay organized - ha! Creativity and organization seems like an oxymoron.

I must confess I have some of those little plastic DMC cards you buy for thread and although it looks neat and fits perfectly into a little plastic box the thread does have a tendency to unroll. As I am writing this I am thinking eeeukk plastic!<br />I love your basket idea too!<br /><br />Thank you for the link to Deepok Chopra. I found some meditations to listen to. I think they are much needed for me : )<br /><3Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759831735033471810noreply@blogger.com
