Been feeling myself get a little caught up in the million little things pulling me in all directions lately, so I'm trying to be more mindful again. To stop, feel what I'm feeling, see what I'm thinking, and let it go. I'm realizing more and more that my experience of life is solely based on what I focus on, and if I focus on stress or worry or negative things, that's what life will feel like. If I focus on nature and beauty and hope and gratitude, life is pretty magical. 

Did 20 minutes of meditation this morning and now I'm going to take a few minutes to write out some things I'm grateful for today. Feel free to join me :)

My hot water was broken, so showering was an adventure. But now I have discovered I am an Otter! And they never get hot water, so I'm way ahead of the game. 🐿 (squirrel is the closest I could find, they're both in Redwall, close enough!)

It is most certainly a practice, to be mindful with intention. Happy to see you Kina. ...Aside @ron, you stopped cooking?!

Your post has too sense for me today. I've felt sad lately because I'm stuck in some situations. So, when I read your words I realized I'm focusing on the wrong things. I have so many things to be grateful and that things give me strength to go on and pursuit my dreams. Thanks Kina! Ps. Sorry for my english, I'm learning yet. If someone wants to help me and point out my mistakes, feel free! :)

I'm so grateful to be alive. I'm so grateful that I was in the right place at the right time 7 years ago to discover a most amazing and beautiful person (you) who has changed my life forever in so many wonderful ways and who has helped me to meet so many other amazing, beautiful people! I don't even want to imagine what my life would be like now if you hadn't allowed me to go along and be a part of your amazing journey! ❤️❤️❤️

Just the simple but important things...family. When my daughter was little, she claimed she wasn't a Kinerd. I can't tell you how many times I caught her singing Mr. Sun. P.S. I love the idea of the new gifts. Fingers crossed for me on the lottery.

cássio! first of all, your english is so great! second of all, i'm so happy this connected with you today. it's so easy to get caught up in the negative things, but luckily we can all be here for each other to remind us to shift our focus!

It's funny how the world reminds you to be more mindful and focused on positivity. These past few weeks for me have been a bit more on the negative end with a maelstrom of emotions and thoughts. But your post reminds me to be more mindful and thoughtful. To appreciate the little things, like your cover of "All My Life" and the fact that I'm currently in Alaska exploring and learning new things about life and the world. Love the reward names!

Its the name of a Indian mystic I spent some time in India at his meditation resort and when I returned I called my dog osho cause he had such impact in my life,kind of sounds Japanese too though I think:) I just learned kina has its roots name from hawali and means China pretty cool :)
