I Still Have That Warm and Fuzzy Feeling

After all the wonderful Valentine's Day surprises that I received yesterday, I still woke up this morning feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside. I guess you could call it a cloud 9 state. I love it.

It reminds me of the saying ... looking at life through rose colored glasses. I try to always look at life on the bright side. Don't get me wrong everyone has a bad day. But we are always allowed to start our day over at anytime. And we can do it multiple times throughout the day if needed.

It is so easy to forget how something as easy as smiling at a stranger can make your day or the day of someone else. Random acts of kindness are needed everyday. Not only to they help humanity, but in a greedy sense, they help you. By doing something for someone else, you help yourself. You feel good afterwards, it makes you smile and sometimes even laugh.

And we all know that the most attractive accessory is a smile!!!

Here is an inspiring quote from the Dalai Lama that I found to help inspire you in your everyday life. I hope that you find it as moving as I did.

 "The human capacity to care for others isn’t something trivial or something to be taken for granted. Rather, it is something we should cherish. Compassion is a marvel of human nature, a precious inner resource, and the foundation of our well-being and the harmony of our societies. If we seek happiness for ourselves, we should practice compassion: and if we seek happiness for others, we should also practice compassion."

HDAVD !!! Happy Day After Valentine's Day !! Don't forget to always show the people that you love, that you love them every day ... not just on one day a year. Hugs and Kisses XOXO
