Things would grind to a halt! All of which is to say, I think we can be mindful in any task that is solitary, that does not require our full concentration (i.e., not air traffic control, for instance), and that allows us to let our minds go at a slower pace. My two cents :)<br /><br />I need you to weed out our bookshelves. Ah, the crap we've got there. It feels like sacrilege to throw books out, but it's hard to find a place to donate them and so I really need to develop a backbone and just do it.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-61155293049361181642016-10-06T16:33:09.592+01:002016-10-06T16:33:09.592+01:00Poisonous to everything ragwort..especially horses...Poisonous to everything ragwort..especially horses!

But I know- it can be hard. <br />Wow! You're life is so busy right now! And that is good, I think. And yes, I do believe you can be mindful anywhere. That's the theory, at least. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-4092937951180548022016-10-06T09:54:31.484+01:002016-10-06T09:54:31.484+01:00When weeding books in the library did you come acr...When weeding books in the library did you come across one called "Ragwort" by a fellow named Reed - all about a manservant who lived in a mansion near Witney in Oxfordshire and one night turned into a banana?Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
