Mind-ful...

Last year, many people chose a "word to live by" for the new year.  I didn't--and I think I really missed out.  So, this year I have chosen my word:

Mind-ful
(having a careful, deliberate manner; aware; attentive; observant)

This is a word that I can apply to my whole life, not just to eating.  I want to be mindful of my thoughts and my actions in every aspect of my life.  I want to be mindful of how my behaviors affect not just me, but those around me.  I want to know that my actions are a result of conscious choice and not just habit.  I want to know that I am doing what's right and not just what's easy.  I want to be mindful of my life.

(PS  Why did I have to choose a word that looks so strange when you type it out.?  It almost doesn't look like a word at all!  LOL)

It looks like a word! Good one too!
I loved the asian "dumplings" from the cookbook! Gonna do another few recipes next week when Chris is home!

Great word! I think it's a reminder we all could use from time to time.
