Well, now I am itchy and hot. Either I had gotten poison oak prior to the spa day and all the detox at the spa somehow allowed it to break out, or the whole float thing was not such a great idea! My chin is dry and bumpy and my shoulders and neck are constantly screaming for scratches. Oh, and my nose has been dripping saline water for two days.

With my body feeling this way, I am having a really hard time hanging on to that awe-inspiring feeling of having my eyes open when I thought they were shut. I came home full of energy and inspiration. And, now, just two days later even writing the blog seems like an effort. Obviously I am not the "new" person I thought I would be. Or, am I? I mean, I AM still writing even though it required effort. And I had a really nice day today, I smiled a lot. I am trying hard not to criticize myself for all this and just let it be. I am also trying not to make hot chocolate. But in the end I think that one will be a losing battle!

Seeking enlightenment is tough business...
