Mindfulness

Since I've been meditating every day on my walks to/from work and during errand runs, I've noticed myself becoming more mindful and noticing things that I never noticed before. I actually caught pictures of a Monarch butterfly today on the way to work, and even before I left for work, I noticed a broken window that I had never noticed before. I have no clue how long it was there, but I'm glad I caught it before winter comes again, since that could be one reason my room was so cold last winter. This mindfulness is really neat and I'm loving it. I'm even loving meditation to the point that I wanted originally to drive to work, but then changed my mind because I wanted to meditate on the walk there. I'll pick up the car on the way home for the reason I wanted to drive to work. If I hadn't chosen to walk, I would've never seen the butterfly. If I hadn't been mindful and paying attention to what's around me, I also would not have seen it. Sometimes, meditation and the results of it can be beautiful!
