The building blocks of an extraordinary life.
Last Thursday I made the following list because I noticed myself smiling in the shower as I readied for bed.
What’s all this grinning about, I thought to myself. How come you’re feeling so happy?
Later on, while sitting in bed, I reverse engineered my day and uncovered ten reasons…
- Waking without an alarm clock.
- Feeling the soft fur of Poupon (my gray cat) against the crook of my knee.
- Hearing Michael’s gentle, rhythmic breathing as he sleeps.
- Feeling the warmth from a cup of tea leaning against my chest as I gaze out over the mist covering the fields behind our home.
- Watching the pale, pink light of the rising sun as it slowly takes possession of the day.
- The taste of watermelon and cucumber blended together.
- Listening to a haunting playlist of music while walking in the woods.
- Seeing the iridescent sparkle of a hummingbird as it feasts on a rosy, red blossom in the garden.
- Sitting next to Poupy, staring at the yellow finches as they dip in and out of the birdfeeders hanging on the deck.
- Enjoying dinner under the stars with dear friends.
When I finished writing the list in my journal, I thought about the sudden passing of my colleague, Wayne Dyer. He lived a simple life – t-shirt and shorts, beret always perched on the top of his head, a daily swim in the ocean, a mischievous smile, and a penchant for magic.
His wisdom changed millions of lives and he modeled a generosity of spirit that I can only strive to emulate.
Wayne’s unexpected death inspires me to take note of and value the little things.
Because they’re the building blocks of an extraordinary life #x2665;.
