My quote today comes from a Communications professor (in my past undergrad years):

"Go forth and use every heartbeat wisely," ~ Dr. Alena Ruggerio

Spirit Dancer · 05-25-2010, 09:34 AM

When we perform an act mindfully--be it meditating, vacuuming or playing Scrabble
with a child--we nourish ourselves, as well. Rather than scattering our concentration
on a dozen things at once, we focus. We slow down. We give ourselves time to calm
down from the inside out and the luxury of saying: Nothing is more important right
now than this moment, this deed. We may not get as much done by day's end, but
we can feel more peaceful and satisfied with the work itself. That's a good way
to think of it: Mindfulness is quality time for the soul.
Shana Aborn

Spirit Dancer · 05-25-2010, 09:35 AM

Mindfulness means
paying attention
in a particular way;
on purpose,
in the present moment,
and nonjudgmentally.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Spirit Dancer · 05-25-2010, 09:38 AM

One needs something to believe in, something for which
one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel
that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.

Hannah Senesh

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

~Monica Baldwin

Arwen · 05-25-2010, 11:24 AM

I'm not bad. I'm just drawn this way.
