M is for Mindful

A lot of things happen around us everyday. Interactions between people and the environment around us that most people tend to not pay attention to. We are just not mindful of our surroundings.

People are so invested in their own life that they fail to notice the amazing things that are happening in the world. Their phones become more intriguing then that balloon just floating away from the grasp of that child. Their conversation is better than the sight of that biker helping an old lady across the road.

There are all these beautiful, interesting, amazing things to see, but we just keep finding ourselves swept up in our own little world. There is a huge world around us, we just have to take a look.

  1. What a lovely post! I wish I had thought of 'Mindful'! So necessary to be alert and aware of the beauty that surround us.
    Thank you for this timely reminder.

  2. I am guilty of being that person on my phone. I'm always trying to get things done for my boys before getting into work because then I'm on the clock and off the phone. I know I need to figure out a better way to try things done. (On my phone leaving this comment)

  3. I love this post. I'd like to think I'm pretty aware of what's going on around me, however, I'm sure there are times when I get a little caught up in my own world. But it deeply bothers me to watch nearly every single person I see, interact more with their phones than anything else.

    Have fun with a-z. :)
