A day after Ananda Meditation - and the daily Job...

When I went to work today, I had a situation where I was in a meeting and had to vote on several proposals. I was veto'd on almost everything. But it didn't worry me. I was at peace. The night before, I started with the Ananda Meditation course. I was at peace from the night before, during the meditation. When I got to the work, I still had that peace.

AFter the 3rd or so veto, someone in the room said, "Brian... how do you feel about it?" I simply smiled and said, "I'm fine." Again, veto'd again my decisions turned down. Again I answered, "I'm fine" with a smile.

"You must have had SOME AMAZING weekend" someone joked. I just smiled and nodded. They laughed.

Again, and again, decisions went against me. Finally, someone said, "Is it the 7 Up he's drinking? Brian whatever you did this weekend, I want a piece."

I just laughed.
