I was sitting on my favorite bench at Mar Vista Park, in front of the flowers you see in the photo.
As I was meditating, a group of kids came for an award ceremony. To my delight, I heard the coach say, it's appreciation time. Then he said, "yay Billy" then everyone yelled back, "yay Billy" followed by happy clapping and cheers. This was repeated many times with different names!
Appreciation and Yay are two of my favorite words!!!
I was so delighted that I was meditating, in my favorite park, on a gorgeous day, in front of beautiful flowers, on my favorite bench, listening to outrageously happy kids yelling yay and laughing and clapping while appreciating each other.
