Obama's Moment of Zen
I survived my minor meltdown last night with a little help from Law & Order. Now I’m sailing through day three of my presidential-politics free week. This may have something to do with the fact that I promised myself I would suspend this crazy “fast” to watch the third and final debate tonight, and that promise has kept me going all day!
Wednesday, 9:01 PM: Yes we can! Woohoo!!
Wednesday, 4:00 PM: 5 hours and counting…! The hardest thing today was the long car ride home with no talk radio. I tried music, but I eventually just turned it off and following a suggestion I read at zenhabits, I tried to be present, pay attention, and enjoy the silence. It was nice without all the usual chatter.
Wednesday, 10:00 AM: I’ve got a bone to pick with you, Senator Obama. I’m getting two and three emails a day from you and from MoveOn.org. You’re weakening my resolve with making video montages of McCain’s latest smears, asking for donations, and encouraging me to volunteer. Shouldn’t you be prepping for tonight’s debate? It’s only 11 hours away!
