A wonderful conversation with one of my beautiful friends yesterday, reminded me of a special moment of gratitude. Super human gratitude.
Kind of a neat story…Here goes…
One day I was driving down Kapiolani Boulevard and was catching every light, traffic was crawling and I was in a grumpy mood. I caught myself in this funkiness and wanted to change it.
As I was driving so slow, I was noticing my surroundings and all the people busily moving along the sidewalks. I could clearly see them and decided I would send them a a happy thought.
Example, I saw a woman with a beautiful dress or great handbag or cute shoes and I would mentally send that person a smile and a nice compliment. I did this for fifteen minutes until I reached my destination. Sending out complimenting thoughts and smiles to each person I noticed along my slow progression along Kapiolani Boulevard.
At my destination, it was First Hawaiian Bank, and I will never forget this, as I was leaving a woman grabbed my arms to stop me and she faced me with the biggest smile. She said, "You are absolutely gorgeous!" I was so stunned, I welled up with such gratitude and choked out a thank you and said she was also very beautiful. She smiled back and let me go, we both continued on our way.
That was such a profound moment of good energy coming back at me. If you ever wanted to test how life is an echo of your thoughts and feelings, you might just try this little experiment. And don't stop giving out those happy compliments. Just because the person you sent it to didn't hear you, the universe did.
I can't believe how clearly I can recall that day and always wondered if the woman was an angel. She had such an amazing glow and the power at which she held my attention and presence was almost super human.
Some days I feel like I'm on fire! Today is one of those days! I love life and am so grateful for all my wonderful amazing supportive family and friends. You mean the world to me and I wish you the best this life has to offer.
Love and Gratitude Always,
Maile
