Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
― Marcel Proust
There’s a story about two businessmen who were driving to an important meeting. Each was to receive $50,000 tax free, but they had to get there in an hour. On the way, each had a flat tire. The first businessman got out, looked in the trunk and found he had not jack. He looked at his watch, saw that he had to reach his appointment within ten minutes, and had a heart attack on the spot. The other businessman looked in the trunk and also had no jack. He stood by the car. A passerby stopped, changed his tire for him, and he made his appointment in time.
I subscribe to the Jungian idea of synchronicity, or meaningful coincidence. I believe that there are very few accidents. After one of my talks a man handed me a card on which was written, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”

Here’s a tip from The Center for Mind-Body Medicine:
The venerable Buddhhist monk and author Thich Nhat Hahn teaches hugging meditation. When you hug your child, spouse or friend, just do that—hug. Don’t worry about what you are having for dinner tonight or your presentation tomorrow. Just be there, 100% in that hug, with all your heart. Don’t rush– hold on—stick with it. Try it, and see if the recipient doesn’t express both joy and a little amazement.

Tip of the Day: In his article In Pursuit of Balance: A Paradigm Shift, Michael J. Krasner, MD shares:
“If we were to place more attention on the actuality of our lives as they are being lived, then the idea of balance shifts a bit. No longer is it solely about balancing time, but rather it becomes more about the quality of the time we have available.”
