The word of mindful is trending hard these days so as someone who writes a ‘meditation’ column, I feel it’s important to come out and admit that I’m not a fan of the word. I appreciate the concept and the hard work that is often behind being a mindful person, but the word itself is too easy to grasp in a superficial way and that, unfortunately, is how some people relate to it. Either that or they nervously squirm in their seats in full aversion at the mere mention.

“Eat your margarita! Well, that’s almost right. Chicken breast are marinated overnight in margarita mix, and then grilled to perfection.”
If you are starting work again as usual on Monday, my condolences. For the rest of you with a three-day weekend, let’s do something fun! What about a cooking project — just a small one! — that you can make and eat all in one day? I’m thinking about fresh pasta or a batch of hand-pleated Asian dumplings for dinner. Or maybe some soft pretzels that we can dip into mustard while still warm from the oven. Granola bars? Marshmallows, maybe? What sounds good to you?
Happy holiday weekend, everyone!
