Trying to be mindful

I am working on trying to be more mindful in life.  This is especially true of my health.  I am trying to be more mindful of what I am eating.  Instead of potato chips, a granola bar is a better option.  I know that water is better for me than pop, but I don't care for water at all.  I'm really trying, but most days water makes me want to gag.  When I go somewhere, I try to choose a parking spot that isn't the closest so I can walk more, and even at home, instead of asking someone to bring me something I try to get up and get it myself.  These are just small changes, but they are good changes.  Good changes are good, no matter how small.

I'm trying in other ways though too.  I'm trying to watch my tone when I speak to others, and I'm trying to be more present in everything I do.  I'm trying to have actions that aren't just sitting and staring at a TV screen (although plenty of that happens).  I'm trying to remember to be grateful, and I'm trying to remember to live my faith.  I'm trying to think, and I hope these changes can only bring good things!
