Today I did a wonderful, guided walking meditation. Essentially, it was like being in a computer game where I shot positive feelings at people I passed on my walk. It made me smile to think of positive-thought lasers hitting people rowing, walking, running and riding past me. 

I also realised that I often make judgements about people as I past them. Who I am I to judge? I am going to make a real effort to stop and focus on using my postive-thought laser. 

If I see you on my walk I may be shooting you full of positive feelings, just imagine swimming in "positive slime" like the closing scenes of Ghostbusters II. 

The meditation is part of a series of guided meditations on my favourite new app buddhify.  I am so grateful that I get to walk along the Yarra River most days. It is incredibly beautiful and sets me up for the working day ahead. 

Today I am grateful for my daughter's dog Yumi because she loves us all unconditionally and is always so pleased to see us. Her favourite place in the world besides with her parents is lying on my bed looking out the window. 

When Boo passed away I couldn't contemplate getting another dog but as fate would have I didn't have to, Billie came home with Yumi. She is now 9 1/2 months old and huge. 

She can be really annoying but I do love her. My other daughter Lucy rescued a dog recently, his name is Bundy. I have only met him once but I am sure he will enrich our lives too.

Peace

After two 10K runs the last couple of days Benny and I went for a walk along the beach today. Plenty of dog walkers out and about and the surf was pumping. 

I have been overwhelmed by how lovely and kind folks have been about Boo's prognosis. I am still trying to process and I am sure the next few weeks will be tough. Thank you.

In Foster we met the most amazing checkout chick in Foodworks. Her customer service was top notch. Genuinely friendly. She blew us away. We also went to the most incredible fruit and vege shop. Ben made an amazing fruit salad to go with our pancakes this morning. Mango, pineapple, raspberries, banana, blueberries and berry yoghurt. Divine.
