Lilac Luna Journal

This weekend we went up to Mackinac Island for a mini-vacation with relatives. Things that I liked about it included being able to spend the whole day without our cars, getting there by boat and getting around on bike and all the free fudge samples. Spending time with relatives creates opportunities for spiritual practice and growth and long drives gave us the opportunity to listen to motivating podcasts. The hotel had a pool and a hot-tub and free cable on which we were able to watch Scrubs. I spent time reading the Dhammapada while waiting for people to see the sights and practiced the art of non-attachment as I'm learning to let my son make his own choices, even if different from what I would want for him.
