The sun finally came out yesterday! I took a break from work for a walk in the woods and decided to make it a MINDFULNESS walk. I tried to set aside all my thoughts about everything else and just focus on what I noticedwith every step that I took. Good thing I was really paying attention; suddenly I saw something tiny almost under my foot! The baby mouse must have come out of his nearby nest and wandered into the path. I slowly held out my hand and he climbed right onto my fingers. Before I looked for a safer spot to put him, I took a moment to notice every detail I could. His tiny feet, his perfect ears and whiskers, his eyes blinking closed as if he wanted a nap... I knew I needed to let him go and get back to busy "real life." But before I did that, I stopped to notice how happy and grateful I felt! It brightened my day and gave me a memory I will never forget!Click here to get a Mindfulness Calendar full of activities for May!
