“Life is brighter on the lighter side.”

― L.M. Fields

Yesterday was my birthday and the first thing I did was get on my yoga mat. That is the biggest gift that I can give myself, my family and everyone in my life. Because when you prepare yourself vibrationally on the mat, you can operate in the world as the person you hope and want to be.

So I was on my mat practicing, and the crew pictured above blasted into my room into my room singing, "Happy birthday to you!"

What could be better than that? Priceless.

After they belted out that song they all ran over and gave me big hugs and sort of toppled all over me as little boys will do.

Then they ran off to play tennis, as they do every morning before school.

After they had gone I resumed my practice. I looked down, and smiled, as I noticed donut crumbs all over my mat. Chocolate, vanilla, and pumpkin donut crumbs like confetti all over my aqua mat. It was a beautiful site.

Beautiful because that is a symbol of their love to me and the fact that it didn't annoy me -- which it would have before I started my yoga practice many years ago -- is the real-time evidence that my spirit has taught me what is important.

Life is messy. Lighten up, laugh more, appreciate more, all is well.

Have the BEST DAY EVER! Namaste! Taylor plus 5
