I have found it exciting, in my life, to be open to new possibilities. In that I am open to using new formulas in living life. Because of this I get to enjoy new beginnings every day. It is clear to me that variety is the total spice of life. There is always something to be said about creating good habits and nothing says that good habits can only be done at a certain time of day.

While Harry and I were enjoying an early morning swim, yesterday, a beautiful little neighbor friend of us appeared outside the protective fence to the pool. Her name is Roma, she is only 4 years old and the moment I saw her I felt joy. At that same instant she bent down and picked up a feather. On seeing this I said, “Oh! Roma! Is that a special Angel feather?” She nodded excitedly and said, “Yes!” “Why don’t you take it and give it to your Dad?” At which point she ran off, feather in hand to present to her Dad. I continued with my laps and shortly she returned still holding the feather and said, “This Angel feather is supposed to be for you!” “Thank you Roma – I love you!” “I love you too!” she called out to me, “I’ll leave the feather right here for you!” as she gently, laid the feather by the gate to the pool and dashed back to her apartment. The love I felt in my heart, right at that moment, was enormous!

What a wonderful beginning to my day and it only proceeded to get even better as it went along. To what did I ascribe the reason? Harry and I had begun our day by telling each other everything we could think of that we love. Sort of like gratitude but instead love.

As I was just preparing to go to an evening meeting, there was a knock on the door and there standing holding a beautiful bouquet of roses was a dear friend of ours. “These are from Harry to you!” he said as he handed me the roses. (Roses had not been a part of our budget recently) As it was his habit to buy his wife roses he just thought of Harry and made this thoughtful gesture. We both truly appreciate where he was coming from.

Nothing could ever have told me that this would be the result of focusing love at the beginning of my day and it made a believer out of me.

This is a habit that may become daily?
