Autumn Colors

Looks like we are lucky if I blog once a year! Well, I guess that is one thing I can be consistent with.

The challenges of being a busy student, a veteran with PTSD, an avid procrastinator and an amateur philosopher seem to devour all my time. Perhaps this blog should just be about those struggles, and trying to find my way in Zen and yoga along the way.

Lately I have had serious contemplations about giving up. Not so much as giving up on life, but giving up on school and having aspirations. I am feeling defeated. I know it isnt easy to do what I am attempting to do (attain a PhD in Astrophysics), but sometimes it is just so hard that I literally want to just throw in the towel. Reflecting on being 31 years old and feeling like I have not accomplished much has been quite draining. I certainly need a vacation from this bullshit, 3-ring, circus sideshow.

So the meditation and yoga was set aside. And during that time I noticed things began to deteriorate. I can say without a doubt in my mind that meditation and yoga work for veterans with PTSD and other related issues.

So, time to get back to it. Thanks to Jorge for helping me realize how important it is...

and he is me...

This blog is meant to be a journey for me as I go through life and deal with all of the intricate details. I welcome all who wish to share this journey, and I bid you Sat Nam!
