And if you see it as exercise, if you're doing it for some other reason, um, it's a shame because even the exercise for exercise sake should, you know, I won't do it if it isn't fun. I Now, that's not that, you know, I say I won't do it if it isn't fun. I think that this is something that I do well is to make almost anything be fun.

Yeah, well, I don't think they're very different from what you've already covered. In that fire, I lost all the photos. And it didn't occur to me that I had lost all of them for years because I didn't look at them. So I could have a lot of that. That's very true. I think, you know, when I was young, some of my friends were keeping a diary. And I never kept a diary.

And so then my feeling was I'd rather just be living than recording. But it depends on how you record it. If you're reliving it while you're recording it, then you're living. It's the same thing. You know, one activity is really no better than another if you're doing it mindfully. Now, this is hard for people to accept. If I say to you that if you're cleaning a toilet,

that the distinctions you're drawing are no better or worse than if you're trying to come up with a theory of relativity or understand Einstein's theory of relativity. A distinction is a distinction is a distinction.

And so that's why these little things that you're noticing, your mother's weed, is no less important, although she thought you might see it as less important, than you're having just, you know... interviewed somebody that she thought was phenomenal. Once you notice, you notice, and that's the whole ballgame, and there's always something to notice.

And if you're noticing it without the stress overlay that some people add to their lives, which I can't understand, it's no different from a game. I use this example, and I think that my students must think I'm crazy. So if I believe that, I should come up with a different example. But you're flossing your teeth. Now, you can floss your teeth mindlessly. in which case you resent being there.

You're spending the time because you're thinking that it's good for you, but you'd rather be doing something else. You're not there. You're flossing, but your mind is thinking about a party you're going to go to, for example. To me, make it fun. It's so easy. I mean, you play little games. Can I predict how much junk is going to come out? And which teeth, which part?
