Journal 12.11.2025 11.51 am it's getting chilly

Dear Journal,
I went to sleep rather late last night. After 1.15 am.
I woke up from a dream where I saw that we had gone to vacation in the forests where there were many monks and Pa was touched by a lion's paw. The lion had high-fived him. He was excited and telling us about it.
Then I saw myself sitting by Arun's side for a play in the forests. I told him about Pa's encounter with the lion and then I put my head on his shoulder and told him that I haven't gone for a spa or to the parlour in a long time. Arun kept quiet and gazed at some beautiful women walking the ramp.
Then a majestic woman strides in onto the makeshift stage in the forest and an actor says, "Where are you Madhubala?" Then I woke up.
I woke up a little before 8.15 reminiscing how wonderful it used to feel to put my head on Arun's shoulder. But it's over. He's gone. And I survived.
I sipped some water, ate a banana and headed to the garden. I was on the yoga mat by 8.51. I chanted, meditated then came back home to relieve myself. Then I dug into my mat for my asana pranayam practice.
There was a cold breeze slapping my face as I stood in Stithprarthanasana. The weather is getting chilly.
Then I came home, did my morning ablutions, ate breakfast, grabbed the news and here I am.
I have the MindR assignment to do today. Fingers crossed for this one.
Yesterday's audition was alright. I always feel I could have done better, always.
I came home yesterday around 4 and ate my lunch. On my way back I also had two burgers from Burger King. I lost my way on the way to the audition taking a roundabout route. And then on my way back I was so engrossed in my phone that the metro went back to weh where I got off and came back home. Whew!
Pa Pa called yesterday asking if I'd like to catch a movie. I would have loved to go but I had a meeting with See Dhi.
She was enthralled by Sonu Nigam's concert. She also told me that I should focus on driving around in a Mercedes, travel the world.
"More important than treasures in the storehouse are treasures of the body and the treasures of the heart are most valuable than all." I told her that. She said that the treasures of the storehouse are very important.
Yes, but I disagreed. I came back home and discussed this with Ma. She also said that the treasures of the storehouse are very valuable.
Yes. But Buddhism is all about cultivating the treasures of the heart. Then the treasures of the body and treasures of the storehouse follow. ARRGH! 
When I look back all my prayers have been answered. So for more concerted praying.
Now I'll drink my tea and sit on my assignment.
Ap is coming home in the evening.
I am feeling:
A tad groggy
Happy
Dry because of the cold
Clean
Full of love
Like I'm scowling
I am grateful for God's infinite love, Grace and blessings on my life.
Love,
Me.
