sometimes this blog is good. sometimes it's overdone. today it is needed.

i like this bit:


Use reminders to help you stay mindful. There are a lot of mental triggers (or anchors, in NLP terms) you can create to prompt you to return to mindfulness. One great trigger is remembering to be mindful every time you see a red light at a stop light; or just every time you come to a stoplight, green, yellow or red. I have a bell on my bike that I ring when I’m riding to help remind me to be mindful. Another good and more permanent reminder is getting a tattoo somewhere you can easily see to make you mindful.

Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure

Because one has only learned to get the better of words

For the thing one no longer has to say, or the way in which One is no longer disposed to say it. And so each venture Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate With shabby equipment always deteriorating In the general mess of imprecision of feeling, Undisciplined squads of emotion.

The Excitement Never Ends

Just when I thought Boston might be getting a little boring, the US Air Guitar Championships decided to come to town.

Why wouldn't ya?

best email greeting ever?

you tell me:

Dear Ms. Mahoney,
How are you? Are you enjoying the warm rays from the star that shines the brightest at the center of the universe?

Also, here's some good stuff I saw today:

• little girls swinging from the overhead hand rail on the subway
• a guy riding with a little pug in a basket on the front of his bike
• a dread locked man on the T, eating his subway cookie dessert first and dancing to the song playing in his head
• Caitlin G. finger painting with her face

And I'm Back

Bee is Hiking the AT. She is more interesting than all of us combined. Her words are more beautiful than a medium mint patty explosion on a sugar cone with chocolate sprinkles.
