I've also just finished reading all 620 pages of Gandhi's biography, and I bet you didn't know that he took a sabbatical for a year. He said it "nourished the body and cleansed the soul". Okay, I'm only taking 3 months off, but its good to know that selfless and saintly men such as him have also given in to chilling out every now and then.
As for the moment, my typical day consists of the following:
8:00am Open Eyes
8:15am Go to Breakfast of steamed bananas, herbal water and carrot tea, say hello to this guy
8:45am Check emails
9:45am Yoga (Asanas and Breathing exercises)
11:45am Read Indian Express newspaper overlooking the sea and drink a lime juice with a wee bit of honey
12:30pm Lunch of lemon ginger rice, red spinach with carrots, dal and a mango lassi (yummy) while overlooking the sea
1:00pm Quick nap and/or read book hanging out on hammock
3:00pm Treatment begins of 1/2 hour back massage, 1/2 hour massage on floor with therapists feet, 1/2 hour two therapist massage, 1/2 hour oily stuff poured on forehead
5:00pm Come back to hut looking like this after drinking coconut milk
6:30pm Emerge from hut following a hot shower and check emails again
7:00pm Dinner of leafy vegetable soup, spinach and potatoes, raw veggies, indian sweet of some kind and hot herbal water
8:00pm Read book, send texts, chat on phone and/or write in journal
9:00pm Sleep
I seriously don't think I have ever enjoyed sleeping this much. It must be the nicotine and other poisons getting out. Yippee, and I have another week here!

Lorra my daughter - I have never seen you so fit and happy as the picture in your room. This will provide a wonderful base for your journey through life. We forget from time to time, as I have over the past couple of years, but we can always return. It is wonderful to feel that positive energy again.
One aspect of your routine seems odd. What's this yoga and meditation at 9.30 - we used to get up at 4.00 am, and enjoyed it. I think you are actually at a holiday camp!
Enjoy your days, may they be long and peaceful - love BABA
Hi
10 days smoke free - that's great. You will be able to better taste all that great Indian and Thai cooking. Keep up the good work. Cold and rainy in Ottawa today. Quite a few jobs posted on the CCIC website by the way.

Hey Sis,
I like that blog... nice and personal. You look fantastic!! I am very proud of you for not smoking. Hopefully, this will continue in the outside world. That's when it might be difficult.
Anyway, good for you...
About the food, do you eat the same things everyday? Do you like it? Not sure I could eat steamed bananas every day.
Love you...
