Don't forget to STOP!


     I live in a town with no red and green traffic lights like those in the French game, Mille Bornes, which we've been playing, a gift from some great friends. I pass this sign every day as I walk the dog. In a mindfulness workshop, I learned to use the letters as an acronym: S-Stop, T-Take a breath, O-Observe your thoughts, feelings/sensations, emotions, P-proceed. It brings a certain measure of awareness, a much needed pause, and mindful action and intention to an otherwise frenzied day.
