may 29 w online meeting #47

For your MOM: [If you haven't been doing a minute of mindfulness each day -- if you've been telling yourself you're too busy, you're too stressed, it doesn't matter, whatever-- stop cheating yourself. Give yourself the gift of a minute. Better yet, give yourself 5-10.]

JOURNAL TOPIC: Today it's foggy and overcast where I live. But here on the central coast we have microclimates, so the weather might be different a few miles away. The same is true with how people are treating the coronavirus. In some communities, people are being really careful and maintaining social distance and cleaning protocols, and in other communities people are getting together without masks. What's the weather -- and the attitude -- like where you live?

You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.

POST:
Today on Zoom we talked about the idea (which originated as a quote in Shakespeare's Hamlet) that, "Brevity is the soul of wit." What does this mean?  How do you see the relationship between the power of language and how much language we use to express ourselves? (title: BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT)
