Loving Kindness

While listening to the Loving Kindness mp3 I found myself really enjoying the sounds of the waves and the flute.  They were very soothing.  I felt like I was in a spa or something.  I would like to think that I do practice loving kindness to some degree every day of my life.  I do unto others as I would like done to me.  I try to smile at everyone I see either at work or around town.  I make sure that I hold doors open for people as I walk in and out of stores and while I am at work I make sure I always treat my customers as I would want to be treated, like a close friend.  I have always believed in karma and how it always comes back to a person whether it is good or bad. When I first moved into my new place, I decided to get a dog.  Everyone was telling me to go to the puppy store but I wanted to try out the Humane Society.  I went there once a week for almost 5 months until one afternoon I walked in, said Hi to all the employees and volunteers, and saw a dog that seemed to be circled in heavenly light!  Her name was Pumpkin and was 10 months old. She was an abused stray that was missing her front teeth and half of her beautiful tail.  She was huddled in the corner of the cage shaking and avoiding eye contact.  I felt like I could sympathize with this little girl so I adopted her.  She felt like my soul-dog.  Since I have brought her home she is growing out of her shell and has turned into a beautiful and sweet dog.  Pacha seems grateful every day for the love I give her and in return, karma has given me my most trusted friend and companian. 
 I am not sure if I would recommend listening to that mp3 to others only because to me while it was soothing, I found it annoying. I do not have the patience to sit and listen to 18 minutes of someone talking.  I get distracted too easily.
