So, I have been going to this mom’s group for many years now (www.momsmorningretreat.com)…and throughout the years, the topic of mindfulness and how we can be more present in our lives seems to take center stage.  I always think about mindfulness as someone taking the time for themselves, doing yoga, meditation or amazing self-centered (not in a bad way) things.m  I never have fit that mold.  I am looking forward but not necessarily rushing through something so I can be moving forward to the next activity.   I feel fairly present when I am doing things, although I know my phone is a major distraction – chalk that one up to my self-diagnosed ADHD.  I don’t like time to myself because I get bored.  I soul is nurtured by interactions with other people.  This is a tough one, as I feel like I should want to have time to myself, to just BE and get deep. 
I brought all this up in my mom’s group today, pegging myself as the most shallow person in the group because I don’t want to do all the “mindful” things and would rather be with others.  Tuns out, I AM being mindful – thanks Jenny, for pointing out this blog.  Not only are we having the experiences, my cup is being filled…but I’m reliving them through this blog!  Go figure!
