((((((SS)))))) and ((((((Sundog))))))
I sat for about 20 minutes this a.m. I wasn't that concentrated, but tried counting in- and out-breaths, up to 8, which helped somewhat. Thanks so much for your concerns about Sherman and me. The fecal test was negative for parasites, but he'll start a de-worming med today anyway, if I can get the liquid down his throat (poor boy). He had no trouble downing white rice and chicken breast, as well as his treats. I think the little weasel is angling for an upgrade in his fare . Sorry for being off-topic.

I need to use meditation for sitting with emotions, namely sadness/resentment that both love and money have been so scarce throughout my adult life. Valentine's Day is not a favorite holiday of mine
