Wonderful post! When the meditation much changed me from a nervous and sharp girl, I've become soft and conscious person, start to get involved in spiritual information and books. Very good meditation calmed my mind and wandering thoughts developed in me compassion and love. Here the paradox is that for six months I can't bring myself to sit down and meditate. Sometimes I think that I started to meditate during the day making some business. I suspect that meditation gave me as of the moment here and now. 
Sounds like some really lovely changes - I like that description of going from a nervous and sharp person to more soft and aware. Cheers to a very happy new year!
Thank you! You have understood my idea! ❤❤❤
