A Mindful Nation

I was out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday and got out of my most beneficial routines. I did not write, meditate or run as much as I would like. I think I want to start keeping track of those activities in a more systematic way.

This afternoon I attended a wonderful talk by Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio, author of A Mindful Nation. He advocates more mindfulness in education, health care, and society in general. He is especially effective because he is so down-to-earth. He looks like just what he is, a respectable congressman from Ohio. He said he played quarterback on his high school football team. It is wonderful to hear him advocating for more meditation and mindfulness.
