Once upon a time, I would attach this feeling to the something really special that just happened to me. Christmas presents when I was a child. Being kissed by a peer for the first time when I was 9 or so. First orgasm. Solving the really hard physics or electronics problem in high school. Getting my driver's license. Getting my first real paycheck. Getting into Mensa. Leaving the Navy. Finding love. Being loved.
Now this feeling just comes to me at the oddest times. I might be doing nothing or something. Thinking and concentrating on a hard task or letting my mind wander. I might be tired or wide awake. I might be alone or in my intentional family or in a crowd or strangers. Doesn't matter what the circumstances. Just more often and ramping up, I am over come with the feeling that I really love my life.
I has started be a bit jaded about it. But I have increased the number of circles I travel in. In a couple of those circles, there are people who are struggling and agonizing over their circumstances. Some of them do not love their lives in some obvious ways. When I watch it, I remember when I didn't love my life. When this feeling seldom came and never lingered.
It fills me with compassion for them and for the me I was. And I want to share the path I walked to get to "I love my life." I know some tricks, but moving from "Life sucks" to "I love my life" requires a willingness to be responsible for one's life. It is damn near impossible to create that willingness in others. I really wish I knew how to do that! All else would be simple.
Well, I will continue to do what I can. Generating love and compassion in me and around me. Hoping to touch, move and inspire myself and others.
Love and Light,
Lynn
