Consciously Walking Through Life

Today’s vlog was about the joys of knee pain, and the mindfulness that results. I veer off onto topics such as:

• slowing down the internet
• empathizing with my grandma
• advantages and disadvantages of having an iPhone

In this episode, I recorded with my iPhone, which results in HD video. I tried to look at the lens as I was speaking, which makes the video more personal, I think. I also tried to embrace the pauses, rather than trying to rush through the video to avoid dead air.

I’m grateful for:

1. My iPhone for giving me another interesting way to express and share with the world.
2. My knee pain, which has forced me to slow down and live consciously.
3. Saturday, which means my knee gets to rest!
4. My dad, who came back tonight looking worried. He said he wanted to spend more time with me before he left.
5. The random couple who commented on my Vibram FiveFingers. Earlier I walked by as they were locking up shop. The man dropped his lock. I picked it up and gave it back to him. I’m grateful for the opportunity to perform an act of service. I’m also grateful for the amusing conversation where she said she thought I was barefoot.
