Living Yoga

Last weekend was my birthday (yay, 21 again!) and was glad to know that good ol’ Facebook can easily let everyone of my friends know without me having to tell them or drop hints.  This makes life so much easier for those of us embarrassed to say it’s our birthday but secretly enjoy hearing birthday wishes.  ☺  And much to my surprise, many people that I don’t even know in person sent wonderful birthday wishes to me.  One of my friends (who of course I never met) wrote to me, “You know that when you get a lot of birthday wishes you have a positive, attracting energy…”

Now you’re talking because I’ve always been intrigued by the idea that what you put out to the world is what you get in return.  Even if the overblown marketing of The Secret has me cringing at the words, “Law of Attraction,” I still believe there is something to it.  I’ve seen very positive people live a happy life in which good things seem to just happen to them and I’ve seen very negative people always afflicted with illnesses, obsessing about their worries and always having accidents of some sort.

Sometimes it’s easy to remain positive, at other times its difficult but I’m thrilled to hear from somebody else that I’ve made strides over the last year in putting out the positive vibe.  It’s a simple choice that I can make in my mind and, after all, I would like to be remembered as someone who’s had a positive effect on the lives of others.

By the way, I actually turned 33 last weekend and I look and feel better than I have at any other age in my life.
