MUSIC: "Blu" by Ryuichi Sakamoto
Magnificently Soothing and Moving!!!
Music for a sunny spring day around Paris
Or some other beutiful place
Structurally, parts of this reminds me of Ravel's Bolero
Around the 1:40 minute mark
Notice how together the flute and piano are
So perfect - what musicians call "tight"

There are millions of human beings who live narrow, darkened, frustrated lives--who live defensively--simply because they take a defensive, doubtful attitude toward themselves and, as a result, towards life in general. A person with a poor attitude becomes a magnet for unpleasant experiences. When those experiences come--as they must, because of his attitude--they tend to reinforce his poor attitude, thereby bringing more problems, and so on. The person becomes an example of self-generating, doom-fulfilling prophecy. And it's all a matter, believe it or not, of attitude. We get what we expect. Our outlook on life is a kind of paintbrush, and with it, we paint our world. It can be bright and filled with hope and satisfaction, or it can be dark and gloomy--lugubrious (looking or sounding sad and dismal).
~Earl Nightingale

I'll admit it.
I did have to look up the word, lugubrious.
So there is our Word for the Day! : )

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings
Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment
Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart
Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

Remembering Childhood Joys
by Madisyn Taylor
(Daily OM)
"Fun isn't something that is given or done to you, it is something that you allow yourself to experience.
As adults, we often get so caught up in "grown up" business that we can forget how to have pure fun. This isn't the kind of fun that comes from doing a specific kind of activity or being in a specific mood for fun. Rather, this is the fun born from the state of pure being. You see this kind of fun in small children who are so busy being fully present to their lives and in their own bodies that the glow of fun radiates from them just because they are alive: the delight that flashes across the eyes of a child who discovers that water flows with the turn of the tap knob or the squeal of pleasure from a young baby whose tongue is being tickled by cold ice cream; then there's the full, infectious laughter of a child watching the same hat trick for the fiftieth time.
Back when we were children, this experience of pure delight didn't have to come from a heightened, heady event in order for us to feel like our day had been made; and it can be that way for us again - if we are willing to remember and reconnect with that part of ourselves that knows how to be in the flow of fun. You can begin this process by reminiscing on what was fun for you as a child. Think about what caused you to giggle in delight or wriggle in pleasure or burst into endless laughter that you couldn't sit up straight no matter how much you wanted to. Try to spend a few moments with each memory, and really feel what it was like to be in those experiences ? allowing that feeling of pure fun to wash over you. It lives, in you ? that feeling. It can't be bottled, manufactured, or sold. You just have to call it back up in order to experience it again.
Pure fun happens when we are fully engaged with ourselves and our world in each moment. It is the spontaneous delight that bubbles out of us when we let go long enough to bring it through; it is the experience of natural, organic pleasure that springs up from our bellies, through our souls, up through our faces, and down to our toes. We've naturally known how to have pure fun since we were babies and the flicker of lights caused us to jump to attention from the sheer enjoyment of being able to see. Approach your life today with the knowledge that pure fun isn't something that is given or done to you; rather, it is something that you allow yourself to experience."

~*~
The peaceful people that I've known in life
have been those who have most affected me in positive ways.
I've always admired the way they accept things that happen
without losing their peace of mind over them--
if they decide that something's bad,
they simply resolve to do something about it,
and then they do that something.
Their peace doesn't leave them.
~tom walsh
~*~
Peace is present right here and now,
in ourselves and in everything we do and see.
The question is whether or not
we are in touch with it.
We don't have to travel far away
to enjoy the blue sky.
We don't have to leave our city
or even our neighborhood
to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child.
Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.

Hey Sweetie,
Happy Hump Day!
I had a wonderful ME day yesterday
It is important for each of us
To just take a break
Break Away
And just be there for yourself
I love taking time for me
Pampering myself
Savoring the wonderful simple things in life
I hope you will take care of yourself
By taking a ME Day soon!
