Days of Enlightenment

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel good? Often, I correlate them with a good night's sleep. But I have mornings when I am getting Ben and I ready and then driving to work, where I get happy feelings. Sounds kind of gay, but really I just feel enlightened. Some would refer to it as being 'filled with the spirit' A Buddhist would describe it as a state of Nirvana. For me, these days ususally start with a sunny morning. You feel like nothing could go wrong.

Also, I am looking forward to Jake getting home tonight. I feel like I haven't seen him for days. Besides seeing him a couple hours on Monday night, he hasn't been home since Saturday. I am pretty sure he is missing us too.

I would also like to point out I am more patient and easy going on these days. I can have a rude person cut me off in traffic or in line at the grocery store, or just be plain mean because they want to, and I brush it off with a good old shoulder shrug, like I just don't care. Ha! Why can't all days be like this.

This is also a good time to talk about the GOLDEN RULE or the Story of the Good Samaritan. Do to others as you wish them to do. I challenge people today to do something nice for someone that you usually wouldn't do. I will do it myself. If they are there when you do your good deed, watch their response, and I bet money they will be off doing a good deed for someone else today, because of how you made them feel. What can it hurt?

I know it is going to be a good day, when Ben comes to give me a hug and a kiss before I leave him at daycare, and then he is off to go play. He doesn't have a care in the world either.

Happy Days!
