Today is my second day of waking up and saying “It is Our Best Life” and already I woke up this morning saying, “It is Our Best Life”, but not feeling it from the bottom of my heart. Last night after dinner, I lost my temper with the girls. It seemed like all at once everyone was screaming and crying and I sent all three of them to time out before I allowed them to explain what had happened. After timeout I gave them a chance to explain. I then apologized and let them know that I made a mistake.
I was still feeling bad about this when I woke up this morning and no matter how many times I said, “It is Our Best Life”, I just didn’t feel it.
After taking the girls to school, I stopped to pick up G’s pants from the dry cleaner. I had my $5 out to pay the $4.35 bill and he asked if I had $0.35. I started rifling through my wallet and found lots of Euros and Canadian coins and finally two dimes. As I continued searching through all of the crazy stuff in my wallet he said, “This is enough. I want you to be happy.” and then smiled at me. I stopped searching and looked at him and said, “I want you to be happy too.” He then gave me a silent Namaste and motioned for me to take the $1.
When I got back to the car I started crying and thought, what a blessing that a complete stranger wishes happiness for me. I then said from the very bottom of my heart, “It is Our Best Life”!
I believe it and pray that I can wish for it everyday for everyone!
