I'm sitting in my London hotel room early this morning; preparing to go teach another course at the north school, and reflecting on some very satisfying days I've had in the past couple of week.
Last night I attended my second, and unfortunately, final rehearsal of the Messiah for this year. The choir is outstanding; the rehearsal director was wonderful, and afterwards I joined several members for a drink at the pub down the hill. And thought: "How lucky I am to get to do this..."
Before rehearsal I hopped into a taxi to get from a busy clinic day to share a quick dinner with a past client with whom I love to check in once a trip if possible, an Indian woman who is on an amazing spiritual path. And thought: "How lucky I am to get to do this..."
This came after two days full of really wonderful clients and colleagues at the clinic, during which nearly everyone came off my work table looking taller, or me looking shorter. All were quite satisfied, and I felt really grateful that I had the chance to work with such eager and committed people. And thought: "How lucky I am to do this..."
And opportunities keep coming. Gratitude is truly the law of increase.
