On the importance of feeling good. 05/09/2009
"I feel great!" That was the response I got from a woman I haven't seen in a while when I ran into her at the pool this afternoon. Now, this woman is a really good person; the kind that would take your dog for the weekend even though she has four kids, one of which is a special needs child, and a puppy that has yet to be house trained (at the time that she extended her kindness to me in this way, my puppy was not yet house trained!) . She would watch your dog so you could have a romantic getaway with your significant other/spouse. She is a rare gem. One of the reasons I am so fond of her is because she is usually upbeat and always genuine. Honestly! It is as if she focuses her attention on only the good part of the biggerpicture. In short, she is kind. We started chatting and she mentioned that she believes that it is very important to simply feel good. I noticed as I spoke with her that I felt so peaceful, and happy just sitting with her soaking in the sun (spf70 of course!) and feeling grateful. Later I read a quote from Abraham/Esther Hicks that feeling good in the ,moment was the ultimate experience. What struck me about the synchronicity of the quote and the conversation was that it was a simple pleasure that made me feel so good-just spending some time with someone that I am fond of and truly admire, while in a beautiful setting. Nice. I wish everyone to feel good this day and every day. Happy Mother's Day! |
