Wow! What a beautiful, and uplifting post!
Certainly we all need to give our loved ones more time and undivided attention
We do go through life, blind and like zombies. Mass conditioning and 'always rushing to the next moment' I think are big contributors
When we are too busy to, as the say, stop and smell the roses (I do love roses), it's easy to forget to be grateful.
My mind goes 1million miles an hour, and that's good because I grasp self-development concepts well (I just study them for hours out of love)
but not being able to stop thinking is something to be mindful is kept at bay
I find deep breathing, exercise, writing and reading posts likes yours here all help with calming the mind.
