Mindfulness
I started practicing mindfulness. It’s basically turning your mind to what you are doing. Focus on the task at hand. Pay attention in all things. Slow down when walking enjoy the walk instead of focusing on the destination. Chew each bite, focused on taste. Listen to each sound in a person’s voice when they speak…

Sunshine Makes Things Better
I love sunshine. There is no way I could live happy in a climate with little sun light. Try it sometime. If you’re sad go sit out in the sunshine. It’s better if you can go out to a place that is more nature less humans. Sunshine heals the soul.

What’s my name?

I’m over 2020
Certainly there have been worse years, but I can’t think of any. 2020 has been enough for 2 years. Personally my life is amazing and happy.
