"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy."

           
                             ~ Rabindranath Tagore

While many of us think of service as volunteer work, service is also an attitude and a way of being.

We can always be "in service" no matter what we are doing. In fact, if we shift to a service perspective while doing something we are not enjoying, the result is often a bubbling up of joy.

So let's aim to be "in service" today and open our hearts to a flow of joy.

With loving,

PS - Two further things I'd like to share for consideration:

During a stay at Kripalu, a yoga and retreat center in Lenox, MA, I learned about doing "seva," which is working in loving service. You may wish to use this word and the idea of acting in loving service.

Whenever I have cared for cats - my own and my daughters - and I felt that some part of it was distasteful - such as cleaning litter and giving pills - I shifted to seva and experiences peace and joy in doing the work I had previously resisted. 

Joy to you in all that you do!
