If you are like me, you have great days and not so great days. You have good hair days and bad hair days. You can be grumpy or you can be cuddly. It all depends on the way you chose to think, feel and act, first thing in the morning.
One day, while I was having a grumpy day and frankly I was not looking forward to my heavy daily schedule, my little Isabella, came into the bathroom and wanted me to hold her as I was trying to shave. I can't tell you that I did what she wanted - instead I ignored her by saying "not now baby, I am busy!"
Of course Isabella, as any innocent creature would react, sat down and started crying. I felt so horrible! I stopped shaving and with the shaving cream still on my face, I picked her up. While holding Isabella in my arms she was rubbing the shaving cream all over my face, I had an urging sensation to look into her eyes! There deep into those beautiful and innocent eyes, I saw something I never thought I'd see in my entire life. I saw MYSELF - but not an image of myself, I saw my soul!
I immediately felt a sensation of peace. My entire being was overwhelmed with a feeling of letting go and I become totally relaxed. That day I understood that no matter how bad your day or life may be unfolding, the illusion of your perception can be eradicated by a simple stare into the eyes of a loved one, a person or a pet or even your own self.
Our heart is what tells us the truth; it is the messenger of our soul. Our loved ones are often the ones that suffer the consequences of our own doings, so STOP thinking and start APPRECIATING.
