It's going, but not too great. I'm having trouble with meditation. I'm trying to stick with mindfulness of breathing meditation, but it is still slow going. I always seem to get lost in a train of thought without realizing. A thought will occur and 30 sounds later I'll realize I just lost track of my breathing for half a minute. I think it would go a lot better if I had a group to practice with, but the only center near me is Tibetan and from what I've read of Tibetan Buddhism, I just don't think it would work for me and I'm worried trying to go to a Tibetan center could make things harder for me some how. I don't know.
