As I begin this blog, I think about how I begin my day.  My husband and I attend a 6:30am yoga class once a week.  Even though it is difficult to get up and out and it creates a “crunch time rush”  for me to prepare for my straight job, it is a happy experience.

Last week we slept in.  Around 10:00 or so I reflected on the class while at my job and felt sad that I had missed the chance to do that good thing for myself (and for the world).  Today we made it and I am thrilled!  No matter what world weary craziness comes at me during the day, I can choose to rest in the beauty of my morning’s beginning.  I may even project a kinder self to the people I encounter.  I am better able to commune with my coworkers having first communed with myself.  I am so happy for this gift!

So now my gift to you…Imagine this!  You have permission and loving support of spirit everywhere…

What good thing can you do to begin your day?  Think big and wild and blissful and bright.  Think cozy and kind and gentle.  Maybe for you it is taking a walk by a placid stream or a sunny beach.  It could be bringing yourself to that special place in your meditation.  Perhaps today is the day to grab your first hour to write in that journal or play your guitar.  Your gift to self could even be to give those who live with you the biggest hugs and most heartfelt kisses in the world. (Remember, hugs and kisses work both ways!)  Look into the limitless universe of their eyes and tell them that you love them!  Know that it doesn’t matter one whit whether those loved ones are humans or dogs or cats or birds or flowers!

Whatever you do, please enjoy it completely with love!
