What does the word “mindful” mean to you?
I’m mindful that I’ve asked that mindful question, many times before, to people whose minds are full of pain AND hope.
I’m mindful that “mindful” was the first thing I was mindful enough to capture on my iPhone yesterday.
The world was filled with many other mindful things yesterday, when I was mindful enough to notice them.

- Yesterday was the home opening game for our beloved Boston Red Sox.

I am now mindful of this: when we can, we pick and choose what we allow to fill our minds.
As always, I am mindful of how much I appreciate
- those who helped me create this post and
- YOU.
