Yesterday was a fantastic day!

It was a perfect example of being open to the day.

Fantastic lecture by Dr. Anthony Chan.  Sat at his table (next to him) for lunch.  Great table, great conversation, great learning and sharing.

Later, had a chance meeting with our former realtor who was showing clients our neighborhood.  Helped connect her with a neighbor who will be putting her house on the market.  Universe doing it's thing.

Yes, open to the day.

Now today.  Happy 22nd birthday to our eldest son!  How can I have a child who is 22?!?  He is kind, bright, hysterically funny, quite good-looking (lol) and an overall great person.  Rose colored glasses you ask ... nope ... he really is that awesome ... trust me :-)

Now back to yesterday.

A lot of the workshops and reading I've been doing lately (remember ... quest for new and improved me ... a little slice of zen) talk about surrounding yourself with people who lift you up - intellectually, emotionally, morally.

You know, the quality of the company you keep says a lot about you ... etc.

Yesterday was all about high quality people.  Everyone I interacted with yesterday was interesting, inspiring, kind, intelligent, purposeful.  And I noticed it.  Eyes and ears open to the day.

It's a really powerful concept ... noticing, finding the positive, focusing on doing better ... but it's actually so SIMPLE.  But as Jim Rohn says sometimes simple doesn't get done because it is simple - catch 22.

Starting my day with intention, openness helps direct the day for the GOOD.  I know I write about this a lot, but it's something I need reminding on daily.  My default setting doesn't always take me there - time to change the default - or a least fight against it.

Haven't forgotten about the Jim Rohn lecture I watched - very powerful and I want to write about it.  It's going to take some thinking so stay tuned (lol).

Off to yoga and HIITS class this morning.  Later gators.
