Beginnings are often scary

Beginnings are often scary, endings are often sad, but it's the middle that counts. You should remember that when you find yourself at the beginning - Steven Rogers

practicing mindfulness

Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
as if it is the axis
on which the world earth revolves
- slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future;
Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life.

- Thich Nhat Hahn

"Breathing in, I dwell deeply in the present moment. Breathing out, I know this is a wonderful moment.

One Conscious Breath

Breath is the bridge between the body and the mind. Regulate breath, and the body and mind will follow.

That is (as far as I am concerned) one of the few guarantees in life. And it's free! Yippie!
