A simple shift in our thoughts can positively affect our mental state, moving from complaints to gratitude and applying the powerful light of love to any shadowy thoughts. ~Daily Om
I am so glad things are not like the religious zealots proclaim them to be. Things are so much simpler than that.
Yesterday the time came and went past when I hear if I am working. The skies were getting darker and darker. I had the soft, quiet meditation music playing, had eaten breakfast and started getting sleepy. The rain started falling. Bunny was already back in bed, under the covers, sound asleep. The house was dark and cool and the ceiling fan was spinning as I crawled back in bed. I then had the nicest experience. It was after 9AM and in the old days, on a Monday, I would have already called in sick. But there I was snuggling with the pillows and Bunny and it was a Monday morning with no commitments. And I was sober.
It was a luxurious feeling. So perfectly peaceful. A moment filled with gratitude.
The nap was nice, too.

Sounds ideal.
That Daily Om is so damned true! Why, sometimes it's downright aggravating how fast I can go from irritated to placid with a simple shift in thought.
Oh, no!!! It's happening right now!!!
Luxuries aren't about diamonds, furs, big houses, and cars. It's the wonderful time of being with your pet and you. Enjoy.
I totally agree luxuries arent really about the grand, glittery or expensive...it's about waking up in the morning and not feeling rushed, it's about having a shower and enjoying the feel of water on ur skin...it's about just being able to breathe your peace.
thank you for reminging me to slow down.
Oh, how I wish I could go back to bed this morning! What a luxury, and how nice that you appreciate it.
you deserved every moment of that. i love that about you - that you take such delight in things.
that sounds divine, my favorite thing is snuggling and feeling the gratitude.
god is good.
