Here’s Looking at Me

We all get upset sometimes.  And sometimes we might even lose it on someone we love.  Sure, we feel badly about it later.  But what can you do?  We're only human, right? And then there are "those people"...   You know the ones.  Those people that you "just can't stand".  Those people that "drive you crazy".  Those people that "are so annoying"!  It's totally not our fault when we fly off the handle at them.  After all, ANYONE would find them irritating! And yet...  we all love when we meet a Truly Centered people.  We all feel very blessed if we have one friend, or one parent, or one teacher, or one sibling who is always ready to accept us for who we are and how we are -- even in our worst moments. There is no greater gift that we receive than unconditional love.  And when we take the time to appreciate that fact, we suddenly realize that unconditional love is also the greatest gift we can give.  But in order to give it, we must first make peace with ourselves -- within our own hearts and souls. Attached please find the shu-shine for the the Torah Portion of Naso: "Here's Looking at Me". May we all be blessed to achieve the peace of accepting who we are at this moment of life, and where we are at this moment of life, and *how* we are at this moment of life.  And may we blessed, from that peaceful place, to accept all of those we encounter with love. With Love and a Smile, ~Shu
