I was talking to Bertha yesterday and happened to ask her if she had read the blog lately. She hasn't been on line this week at all because her Norton has expired and she has no protection because she was having problems subscribing online, so they advised her to buy the disc which she was hoping to find in Greenville yesterday. Anyway, I was telling her about Ben's post and that he had to speak on being mindful. Michele (at work) and I had gotten into a conversation about what being mindful meant. She said she thought it meant being polite so we settled on being considerate. I went to my trusty online dictionary and the main word meaning was aware. If someone told me they wanted me to speak on being mindful, I think I would draw a blank (could that be because I know nothing about being polite, considerate or aware?) I would have liked to have heard all of Ben's talk. Maybe at the next family gathering he will share with us. Flowers are starting to bloom in our yard and Farmer Ed has started to till his garden.
