Enjoyed today's meditation. I think I have attained level two of the Shamatha course. Level two is continuous attention, but don't get fooled by the title. It is similar to level one, but with longer bouts of attention on the chosen subject. The mind still wanders all over the place, like a porcupine treading on jelly beans, but is able to keep some attention.

Ambers birthday meal tonight yay! Happy eighteenth to my penultimate child. I could not be prouder of all of them.
