I felt like a celebrity on 2 somewhat recent events in my life. The first was during my wedding. Aside from me and my wife being the stars of the day, we were also assigned personal assistants/coordinators throughout the day. The directive was “Should you need anything, ask your coordinators for help”. It felt awesome.

The second, surprisingly, was when my dad passed away. It was a heartbreaking time but at the same time, I noticed that my ego liked it. My ego was enjoying the attention received from everyone around me — condolences and such.

Not quite sure what to make of it.

I’m simply paying attention to my thoughts and emotions.

Being mindful.

Observing. But not judging.
