meditating with Maui makes Life Excellent
Aloha Dog Lovers,
This morning Maui and I took a break and walked on the beach.
(Well, to be more accurate, I carried her on the beach … her sight isn’t good enough right now to risk her tumbling over the sand.)
A woman ran past with one of those “Life is Good” t-shirts.
You have probably seen them. A smiley-faced stick figure surfs, canoes, skis, hikes, or runs … there are a lot of them!
Anyway, the “Life is Good” message struck home for me.
“Life is Excellent,” I thought.
“I am a newlywed, my dog is alive and healthy, and we are on the beach!”
The stress I’d been feeling just minutes ago started to drain away.
I plopped down on the sand and put Maui on my lap. We listened to the soothing sound of the surf breaking, and eventually we both closed our eyes and began meditating.
We spent about 15 minutes listening to the surf and reconnecting with our breath.
By that time, we were both relaxed and I was able to focus and get a lot more of my office tasks completed when I got back home.
Meditating with Maui makes me “a new me” everyday.
Maybe there is a natural anti-aging cure after all.
Next time you think of it, take a few minutes to let yourself breathe and rejuvenate, whether your dog joins you or not. Let me know how it goes.
Aloha,
James
