where I was reminded that the best thing about teaching anything is learning something myself. And so we reviewed different ways to focus, to pay attention, and to be mindful–which seems to be especially difficult in today’s gadget-filled world. As kids, we were told to “pay attention” over and over. But pay attention to what–our parents, teachers, crossing the street? And how? There were so many more interesting distractions!

What do you have in mind? Have fun!
