Yea... my poor snow buddy but it was a hoot to watch. First the head and then the second ball started to tip. It was so funny and my son and I had a lot of laughs imagining the internal dialogue. It was like he was trying to reconnect his head.

We got another big dump of show so I was all excited I would have another chance. Unfortunately this snow fall was too dry and the snow won't stick together. One day it is very wet the next it is too dry. I think the snow had bi polar. lol.

What a lovely family you have. Love their names too. Very cool how they are sharing the experience with you.

I know what you mean about the breathing. Sometimes it can take a while before I am able to breath smoothly. I have to work up to deep breathing. Isn't it nice when you find yourself breathing rythmically naturally. Being more mindful throughout the day helps me to catch those times when my breathing is either really rapid or nearly non existent. Does that ever happen to your guys? I had a dentist ask me once if I was okay because he didn't hear or see me breathing. When stress is constant for any length of time I nearly stop breathing because I am so tense.

I think I am beginning to find a balance that works for me between formal sits and being more mindfull throughout the day. I can still be trigger when caught off guard but recovery is easier and quicker.
