It's been a few days since my last entry. We've just been on a fun little trip to Las Vegas where it was pretty cool by their standards but nothing like what's going on here in the beautiful, wintry Edmonton area. It was no problem staying away from thoughts of work of any kind but not as easy to just be completely present in the same quiet way I am at home. I was very present however to what was going on while I totally enjoyed the overwhelming sensual experience that is the current Las Vegas. I love all the theme stuff and the absolutely amazing ways that creativity and money meet in the middle of the desert. I go for the shows and the food. I'm not much of a gambler though I did spend about 30 minutes and $15 on the penny slots which is quite entertaining too. We saw Terry Fator and his amazing ventriloquism as well as Love, one of the many Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas. Both were fabulous as well as our dinner at the Top of the World revolving restaurant at the Stratosphere.
What I have to say in terms of process is how very present I was to the joy and adventure of what I was participating in. I feel a huge appreciation for it all and for what is right here at home too. Even though I had some trouble with one of my feet and consequently some discomfort in my lower legs from all the walking I wasn't phased by it or upset about it, I just bought better supporting shoes and carried on though at a somewhat slower pace which was great!
That's what this whole process is about for me, being with what is right in front of me and appreciating it all. We even managed to stay in a hotel that helped bring more balance as it was not a casino hotel but a spa hotel which was very, very quiet and yet still on The Strip. Amazing really, I had not been paying that much attention when I booked it but there it was, just the right quiet atmosphere for us in the midst of all that activity.
So I am back in my quiet home, settling back in and being here now.
