(Nothing to add but to say I'm really happy for you!)

The word 'mindful' is one that I don't recall encountering before about 15 or 20 years ago. Of course I had to go look up the word in a thesaurus ... okay, I Googled the word, then I used the Ngram Viewer to see how it was used over the years. Its use seems to have gone up precipitously around 1980. :-D

So, just saying that it's great to have ways to look up answers easily and to hopefully use those answers in a useful way thereafter!
