We have a game in the car where we take deep breaths and hold them when we're going up a hill, or sitting at a light whatever, it really does make you pause. <br />The feet thing.. love it, i love feet, the feeling of a new pedicure or digging them in the sand at the beach.

I think I'll go do some deep breathing, and start my eve job, dinner... homework... etc. etc. <br />but hey I'm not complaining :)Mari Mansourianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003885344370531557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496787242376381641.post-47535443766773717062009-05-26T11:54:41.837-04:002009-05-26T11:54:41.837-04:00Bambi: I also do the vacation count down and kick...Bambi: I also do the vacation count down and kick myself for it!Liz Fulcher, The Fragrant Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745246662315569161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496787242376381641.post-54616779883167422092009-05-26T10:37:34.646-04:002009-05-26T10:37:34.646-04:00I agree, it's a great morning read.

I began noticing this on vacations (only 5 days left, only 3 days left, only 1 more day..) and the whole time I was missing out on what was right in front of me. I need to learn how to zone in...any ideas on HOW?<br />ps- my feet are cozy (but I'm snuggled under covers while reading this)rxBambihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334316477460537688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496787242376381641.post-104465957670940432009-05-26T10:01:26.072-04:002009-05-26T10:01:26.072-04:00Julochka: Cold feet?

I don't actually <I>plant</I> the fairies, but I do give them little houses and put shiny things in the garden to attract them. I'm nine, remember?<br />Debi: Thank your poor busted toe for slowing you down! That massage therapist sounds like she needed self-care more than you. Good for you to move on.<br />Janet: Are kids the best teachers or what? Sometimes it takes a whole new generation of babies (i.e., grandkids) for us to "get it" though. Two thumbs up for Ram Dass! I remember you requested fairy garden pics ages ago. I haven't forgotten. Just teasing you is all ;-)<br />B: So true. I wrote this specifically because I'm so manic(husband calls me "a fart in a whilrwind") and need constant cues to tie me down so I don't go whirling off into the ethers.Liz Fulcher, The Fragrant Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745246662315569161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496787242376381641.post-18439959085970131962009-05-26T09:33:05.466-04:002009-05-26T09:33:05.466-04:00Really like this post.

I've observed the same thing with my granddaughter. <br /><br />i like the auditory cue idea. i've even copied the front of Ram Dass's book "Be Here Now" and put it under the keyboard at my desk at work to try to remind myself (plus i just think it's really cool to look at). but how often do i look under the keyboard? i'm always afraid that my coworkers will start wondering (more than they already do) about me. but i think i'm ready to move it out in the open. i think they could ALL benefit from it. <br /><br />Thanks for another great day-starter! and i'm looking forward to some pics of your fairy garden.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360770142651924007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496787242376381641.post-60589289595983221572009-05-26T08:57:34.887-04:002009-05-26T08:57:34.887-04:00Ahhhh, perfect post to start my day.

I once had a massage therapist who <I>never</I> stopped talking. <I>Never. AND</I> she would talk about negative things. I had to leave her & find the fabulous woman I have been seeing for years & years, who speaks (during the massage) with her hands only. <br /><br />Terrific post.<br /><br />:) Debid smith kaich joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450581639610967780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496787242376381641.post-37676153764678262772009-05-26T08:34:17.165-04:002009-05-26T08:34:17.165-04:00my feet are cold.
