I just love the quote about life being sweet and we should enjoy every bite, especially the last bite. I'm also going to check out the mindfulness jars--an easy way to add a visual aspect to my mindfulness practice.

The video on 'monkey mind' reminded me of my instructor. He has that same easy humor. I realize that I've been doing small bits of meditation throughout my day. Now I'm trying to make more of a practice of it by setting aside a time of the day. <br />https://meinthemiddlewrites.com/MLQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763833172922579693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-58717126344697594572017-03-01T08:53:06.802+08:002017-03-01T08:53:06.802+08:00Thanks for the link up Teresa and I'll pop ove...Thanks for the link up Teresa and I'll pop over and check out that link - happiness is so important isn't it?Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-70141637553738736842017-03-01T08:52:33.905+08:002017-03-01T08:52:33.905+08:00I'm a big culprit of living a "busy"...I'm a big culprit of living a "busy" life too Carol - so much happening and before I know it the day/week/month/year has zoomed by and I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-90007695131634845772017-03-01T08:51:32.935+08:002017-03-01T08:51:32.935+08:00My husband says that he doesn't make plans - i...My husband says that he doesn't make plans - it was a revelation to me because I realized that I'd been the one who made all the plans!

It's breaking my heart, but I can't let Sam know that. I don't want him to sense my distress and be afraid, today. Instead, I'm down on the floor, loving him and giving him his favorite massage. I won't miss these last few moments with this darling little man. Thanks, Leanne.

When he gets over excited she sits him down with it and he calms down watching it.
