Gifts
I was blessed to receive the most amazing gifts this Christmas; I received the gift of insight during my experience with 11 year old Matthew, I received the gift of inner peace & honesty from a dear friend, I received the gift of courage from the Universe and I received the gift of true love from my girlfriends and from my children.
Truly, this has all happened within the last two weeks...but what really blew my mind was that through it all, I was also given the gift of awareness: I have become aware that though I thought I was Open to receiving gifts and wisdom from all around me, it is as if I have french doors within me that were just slightly ajar, but when I threw those doors open wide, an abundance of light and peace and insight came flooding in! These gifts have overwhelmed me with gratitude and happiness!
So in return for all my beautiful gifts, here is a small but precious gift for you:
Better than a thousand careless words is one single word that gives peace.
Better than a hundred years lived in heedlessness,
Is one single day lived in wisdom and deep contemplation.
Better than a hundred years lived in confusion,
Is a single day lived with courage and wise intention.
The Dhammapada
(The only question I have now is, "Where do I return this ridiculous purple sweater?!" lol!! jk!!! You know I can never take life TOO seriously! hee hee!)
