Day 23 Mindful Moments Challenge

Feeling amazed and grateful at the ability to connect with others around the globe today. Trying to figure out what time 10:00 PM GMT+1 is here in New England, so those of us on three continents will be able to see and chat with each other in real time. Can we be mindful when we use technology? We often see technology as a disconnect from the real and present world, yet it can also foster connection in a way simply unimagined a few short years ago.  BTW, 10:00 PM GMT+1 is 4:00 PM EST :-)

Day 13 Mindful Moments Challenge

Balmy Boston -- quite an ironic statement for January in the northeast. Today as the mercury inched to 50 degrees I observed the relative nature of temperature. This afternoon sun shone and the snow seemed to melt before my eyes, I opened my car windows and remarked how warm the air felt. Yet, in August if the temperature was 50 degrees, I would bundle up in a sweatshirt and bemoan the fact that we were having such cold weather....a humorous mindful moment that I hope I won't forget come summertime...it's all relative!

Day 9 Mindful Moments Challenge

Even when you think you think you "know" an object, there is always a new observation to be made, an opportunity for a mindful moment, and so it was for me with a clementine today.
Things I learned that I didn't know before:
  • You can't smell a citrus smell when the peel in intact, only upon scratching or opening the skin
  • Each segment is not the same size
  • There were 11 segments in my clementine, but 9 in one I ate yesterday
  • I found a seed in one of the segments but none in the other segments
What did you notice today?
