PAUSE for three mindful breaths  before proceeding

image witnessed by M. Lee Freedman "Mindfulness - noticing events in a warm, open, and inquisitive manner - develops the courage to meet our lives with genuine interest. It doesn’t mean there’s no discomfort when we dare to be curious. It means we’re willing to tolerate not knowing what might be around the next corner. In return, we experience the delight of being able to look, listen, taste, touch, feel, and learn from our environment. We may not know all the answers, but we don’t limit our perspective." -Ed Halliwell Excerpt from How Mindfulness Helps You Find Your Way Through Difficulty http://www.mindful.org/how-mindfulness-helps-you-find-your-way-through-difficulty/   Wishing you the benefits of mindful awareness today Lee M.

Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Wishing you heartful moments this evening Lee M.
