MEMORY -
Peter use to do the weirdest of things. He was randomly funny all the time! I remember him being in the car and honking the horn. He wasn't honking to get the attention of poor drivers on the road, just honked because it felt good. I would always crunch over in embarrassment, hiding my head between my legs. He would laugh and yell "What??????, it's just a little honk, it makes me happy", then would repeat the honk again until I began to take pleasure in his moment of honking delight.
APPLICATION -
Today was spent having good times with good friends. I was shocked when my friend, Alan began honking the horn in random sound patterns. Short honks, long ones and then of course, the one that kept going thru about 2 traffic lights! Alan said he was doing it because he was happy! I instantly felt Pete's presence. In honor of Pete, I cheered Alan on as he continued to show the world his moment of happiness.
REFLECTION -
If you can honk at a car that states "Just Married" while giving a friendly wave of congrats, theres no reason why you can't celebrate your own marriage to happiness. Next time you are in the car feeling a moment of pure joy, don't hesitate to get a little honk happy!
I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.
