I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I saw the Dalai Lama today in person. He was invited to speak in town and as he said, “I had an invitation, so I accepted.” I started taking notes because I thought I would never remember everything he said. But without writing a word the message of unbiased compassion, inner value, inner peace, happiness, and affection would be impossible to forget. This was an event I will look back at for a lifetime.
The ticket to see the Dalai Lama was a gift from a colleague. A very generous, undeserving gift that I dearly appreciate and will always cherish.
I also got a new water bottle today from another colleague. And if you saw the state of my old water bottle you would know how much that meant to me.
All that and a phone call from my nephew to wish me a happy birthday, that would be 35 if anyone is counting.
Off to dinner with my hubby who has used my birthday as an excuse to finance my new cycling hobby. No complaints here. Just tons of thanks.
Not sure how I got this lucky.
