- My practice. I would be a basket case by now (since the YMCA did not call to let me know EITHER WAY as promised on Friday) if I did not have mindfulness practice and meditation as daily (hourly, minutely, secondly) practices in my life.
- Mindfully cleaning my little meditation bell this morning. I used linseed oil on the wood, rubbing it in with my fingers, and a gentle solvent on the chime. Perhaps I was just imagining things, but the bell seemed to ring louder and more crisply after the cleaning. I enjoy taking good care of things.
- Being back in touch with one of my first cousins after a long period of only secondhand news of her and her family.
- How quickly Sylvain got on top of the execution of several financial decisions that have resulted in giving us some breathing room.
- A good shift tonight at hospice. I met two new residents, one of whom asked for second helpings on everything.

I just got a snippet from Evan Almighty in my head while reading this.
GOD: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Now you have the opportunity to be mindful.
Karyn, that is awesome. Thank you so much for that. I’ve never seen that film. K
Just found a link on Autism Games to a power teaching method that may come in useful for you. Engages the class, uses repetition of language. I am going to check it out http://autismgames.blogspot.com/

Wishing you a mindful Sunday.
Kelly, I just gave you a Kreativ Blogger award. Please feel free to participate or not as it feels best for you. I wanted to honor your “Grace in Small Things” post which inspire me so much. xo, O
Oh, and you can read about it on my blog, of course. But again, just do what you want to with this, ok? No pressure :)
What a lovely list of touches of grace. Yay for Sylvain finding breathing space in some financial matters.
