A lovely, slow Sunday in Kolkata. There’s something special about the city’s vibe on a weekend. I’m spending today practising presence- no rush, no wandering thoughts, just living in the present. It’s a work in progress, but it feels great. I love the rain pattering against the glass windows of my room.
How are you spending your Sunday to get ready for the coming week?

That does sound nice. I often open the curtains in my bedroom so I can watch rain or storms. Lightning is beautiful as long as I'm inside a car or house.
I fell asleep this morning and slept until 3 pm... It was lovely!
I'm retired so the only things I PLAN to do is cook, read books on my phone and talk with wonderful friends on myLot.

@Dreamerby Honestly, things aren't going very well with my health. I've been having trouble walking without holding onto the furniture or asking Pretty to help me get to and from the bathroom and my bed. Pretty is writing down all the problems I have so she can show the doctor and we don't forget anything when we see them.

@DaddyEvil Oh no. I hope everything becomes normal and these problems subside.

I did some grocery shopping earlier and then I came home and watched the world cup. I also did some laundry. We had a couple of rainstorms. I think we are done for tonight though. It is cool and pleasant out.

I should alos practice presence, I think. I can understand how it reduces stress. I spent Sunday just at home with Bob.

That is good. Yeah I am trying to practice being in the present. I have been melancholic for some days.

I did some work earlier today by placing the garbage cans outside of the home this morning before going to work on sharing a news story and working on completing surveys.

Yeah true. What I like about Kolkata is that its very economical. It has IT hub akin to Hyderabad, Bangalore but it isn't as costly as them.
