Take time-- the mincha moment-- and be grateful. Mincha moment (MIN-khuh, with the “kh” like the “ch” in “Bach” or “loch”) refers to a moment in the afternoon- 2:30 pm is what we’ve been using- when you stop whatever you’re doing, look around and acknowledge to yourself, how truly grateful you are. If 2:30 pm doesn’t work for you, no problem. Choose another time, but stick to it. Better yet, keep
2:30 pm and pick an additional moment as well. Unlike specials in the supermarket, decongestants or hot fudge sundaes, there’s no limit to how many mincha moments you can have in a day. Because, as Aldous Huxley wrote, "Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted."
