word of the month: mindfulness.

September's word is mindfulness.

I have chosen to focus on the idea and practice of being mindful: mindful of my surroundings; mindful of what I have been given; mindful of what I eat; mindful of what I say; mindful of my breath and my body; mindful of my actions.  Not that I don't already take these things into account with a mindful taste, but that I want to focus mindfully on being mindful.  I want to be made more aware of my life, what comprises it, and the presence of God. So September, I think I will be learning a lot from you.
