Ugh, what a week.  I have had back pain and tension headaches that make me nauseous all week.  I was ready for a break today, though I still have some minor aches.  Today I did another walking meditation, because it was definitely much easier and more soothing.  I still can't focus like I wish I could.  My mind keeps wandering...mostly to my husband and how he's been wonderful but going through his own stuff, and weekend plans to go to Bowling Green for a friend's son's birthday party,  and everything I need to do that didn't get done because I've felt so bad lately.  Blah.  I am having the most difficult time trying to focus!  Today I used a counting exercise to try to focus.  I would count after each set of breaths - inhale, exhale, one, inhale, exhale, two...and so forth - until I get to ten.  Every time I had a thought besides breathing or counting, I acknowledged it, let it go, and started over at one.  The highest I'd get before I'd have to start over was four.  Definitely still working on that exercise.
