New year nears! If today was any indication, I'm going to sleep into the changeover. I just felt like sleeping today despite the beautiful sunshine. Still managed to get out some as well, but also rested/slept.

Have begun to alternate my physical exercises each day. Weights on one day and Tibetan exercises on the next. Qigong and Life Force every day. Walk every day as well. So today was Qigong, LF, walk, and Tibetan. Tomorrow the same except weights instead of Tibetan. Plus meditations, prayers and visualizations. Plus crossword puzzle (did one today with speed and accuracy) and other stuff (reading, blogging, looking ahead to what's next). The days are flying by!

May do a session with the heat lamps tonight--hands are kind of stiff and aching from the cooler weather. Heat on my hands seems to also reduce my tremors some--get a double benefit. Looks like it's not going to be as cold tonight as last night. That'll help as well.

Reading three books of short stories. Skipping back and forth between them. One is by a Spanish writer, another by an Asian writer, and the third by a SciFi writer. Interesting mix! It's turning out (again) that the more interesting stuff is not by the SciFi writer, but the more literary pieces. This has been true for over a year now. There are some really good short fiction writers out there--just have to dig them out.

I've been having some lively dreams, but I keep losing them as I awaken each day. Awakening in a cold room is not conducive to keeping track of my dreams. My first thoughts are usually related to ambient temperatures. But, they'll return! Just have to hit the replay button!

Last Saturday night of 2006! And the tock keeps clicking!
