Oh, too much truth and thoughtful things to comment on individually....
It's good to see people who take the potential of Steemit seriously, especially when it comes to giving & receiving and creating win:win's.
I can't imagine how this "first day" must feel!!
And now you have so much more time to meditate! What meditation do you do?
That first image of the girl cracked me up, LOL... :D
I mostly do pranayama so that's not exactly meditation but I still try to do some meditation after the breathing technic. I simply try to witness the mind and not doing anything but witnessing.
I do TM and there we do Pranayama, too, before we meditate. They say you already start transcending during pranayama, so I think it counts as meditation :)
