Thank you Universe

What a beautiful way to start the morning...the kids went to bed a little later last night which meant that they slept in for about half an hour longer than usual. Rather than jumping up to put the washing on or trying to sneak in some more sleep, I decided to start the day with a guided meditation. I grabbed my laptop, chose the file that I wanted and lay back listening to this beautiful morning meditation by Doreen Virtue. I feel so awake and recharged because of it and I am ready to tackle any challenges that come my way today. The most unusual thing that stemmed from this meditation was my morning interaction with Elliott...

To set the scene, the minute Elliott's eyes open, the whinging begins. He has never liked coming into our bed for a snuggle in the morning, and lately, he screams the house down if we even attempt to walk into our bedroom with him. He simply wants to have breakfast and get on with playing, none of this sissy cuddling nonsense. This morning however, I collected him from his cot and smothered him with cuddles and kisses before he was awake enough to protest. Strangely enough, the protest never came. He happily enjoyed my motherly affection and then gestured towards one of his much loved books (admittedly, it is the only book he loves and I tell you what, if I have to read much more of this bloody Night Garden story, I am going to scream!) Anyway, I happily grabbed the book and took Elliott into my bed for a cuddle and a read. As we sat down on my bed, I again waited for the protest....but it never came! We managed to read the book twice, play some "this little piggy" games with his toes and even have a wrestle and a tickle before he decided that was enough and breakfast time was a-calling. I was amazed! 

Interestingly, part of the meditation talks about all interactions today coming from a place of love and that everyone with whom I come in contact with today shall benefit from my positive feelings. This couldn't be more true with Elliott's complete turn around with his morning attitude. Now I don't know if it was the meditation that did it, Elliott getting a decent amount of sleep or the fact that perhaps his cutting teeth are having a break today. Either way though, I am grateful for whatever is happening in the cosmos that has delivered a happy, charming and delightful bubba boy to enjoy the day with. 

Happy Thursday everyone xox
