a great way to start a dae

Thich Nhat Hanh teachings are so beautiful inspiring n gentle.

let mi share a para:

every 24 hour dae is a tremendous gift to us.
so we all shd learn to live in a way that makes joy n happiness possible.
we can do this.
i begin my dae by making an offering of incense while followin my breath.
i think to myself that this dae is a dae to live fully,
n i make e vow to live each moment of it in a way that is beautiful, solid n free.
this takes onli 3 or 4 mins, but it gives mi great deal of pleasure.
u can do the same thing when u wake up.
breathe in n tell urself that a new dae has been offered to u,
n u hav to be here to live it

this is a wonderful alternate way to start a dae,
to begin a dae with mindfulness gentleness
to begin a dae with a vow to embrace life with mindfulness n gentleness

in contrast to my "normal half-awake start to a new dae",
before long i am sucked into a vortex of
"business, worries n concerns about life n work"
then b4 i know it its end of dae keke =p
