Have I Told You Lately?

Was sitting down at the local Italian restaurant today. Food was fantastic! Had a scrumplicious lasagna served with yummy italian salad and a heart-warming hot chocolate. Finished the meal with the best tiramisu I've ever eaten. Lorenzo is definitely one of my favorite restaurants ever!

I sat there quietly, eating my meal with joy. I made sure I savored each spoon of food I placed in my mouth. I guess it must have shown because people were looking and pointing at me. I felt slightly uncomfortable at first but when I looked back to acknowledge them, they were all smiling. The atmosphere in the restaurant became much happier after that. It might just be me, but after that, people start smiling and eating their meals a lot slower. =)

"Love yourself first and everything falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in the world." - Lucille Ball

"Change yourself first, before looking to change your opponent, and in the process, you might find that your opponent has changed himself." - Aikido saying

Really, if you want to change the world, best start with the here and the now - start with yourself. =)

Beautiful song I sang out softly as I was enjoying my meal. The couple seated behind me joined in softly. Enjoy!

Have I Told You Lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, you can make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And it's yours and it's mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We will give thanks and pray,
To The One, to The One.

Have I Told You Lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness,

And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun. And at the end of the day,
We will give thanks and pray,
To The One, to The One.
