Today , as I sipped my morning coffee , I took a moment to really taste it , to feel the iciness of the cup in my hands . That's right , it was an iced coffee . And it got me thinking about how often we rush through our days without truly experiencing them . I've been thinking a lot about that lately . The counselor that I work with has me reading a bunch of Jon Kabat-Zinn Highly recommended , by the way and it's got me in that mindful mode .
