Looking for love: in the morning

Heart This one small thing -- choosing to seek out love instead of focus on pain or the past or change -- has shifted something deep within me. It's not always easy.  I get overwhelmed by the three-page to-do list that sits hauntingly next to my laptop. I turn "shoulds" into "needs". I get caught up. But a long time ago, I asked the universe to show me signs, small as they may be, of the greater good, of the hope, of the love that lasts well beyond all of that.


You know what? The universe listens.


Several months ago, it responded in my salad. This week, in my breakfast.I could look past it, but that's not the way I want to live. I want to see every little bit of love there is. And in this case, I tasted it.

Over the weekend, at the Sox game, my friend found a triple in-the-shell peanut that was heart shaped, and gave it to me.

Patty! That is good luck! I love it.
Lovely, as are you.
