600 at 8:40am. And I'm going to stop counting breaths for a while. Just try to keep aware of all of them without verbally reminding myself to pay attention to each one by counting. Time for breakfast soon, and I'll be talking some with the 4 other people in the house I did miss counting a few breaths between 306 and 600 while talking with Potter, my daughter Siri's husband. But I did hold in mind the last one I counted and resumed with the next number. It's 8:44.

165 plus 600 makes 765 breaths counted and it's 10:00am: Finished breakfast, bacon, scrambled eggs, 1 toast, jam and a glass of what tasted like grape juice and I just finished my 4th cup of liquid, coffee. Tried to stay aware of breaths thru breakfast, talking "spontaneously" with mainly Tiana's guest, Brendan. Breakfast tasted very good and I came close to being aware of every bite, how it tasted, how it was different than the previous bite, etc. "Spontaneously" is in quotes because it also means impulsively, without thinking, without delays. Please note, some of the meanings are negative, some positive. Also note that I chose one that is currently, I think, regarded as positive---spontaneously. Word choice, what I tell myself is one way I make myself happy. 10:09am. 767, 768, 769...
