11/30/09 Holy presence, Med class, con ride, shop

Last night, I woke up and felt a deep, soft, profound peace fillling the bedroom and inside my mind and heart. There was a holy presence in the room. I hoped that it was Prem.

Larry still has to sleep on the chair because it's too painful for him to get out of bed. But he was sleeping peacefully, very peacefully. More peacefully than usual and there was this amazing holy presence in the room. It was like going to sleep and waking up with God and his angels.

I woke up with a good feeling. My old friend, Janice, came to class. She looked great. I think she's finally coming back after losing her young husband and both her precious dogs. I admire her.

I started with a reading by Baba. He talks about how we focus on the outer world so much that we forget the divine inside and then we wonder why we aren't content and happy. This was a blessed class. Everyone felt it. Luke came as well, even though he had to sit on a chair and wasn't comfortable. I felt like the class reflected my experience with the Divine presence. I was able to slip into meditation and still have the class flow through me.

After class, Luke and I went for a conversation ride. We talked about his back problems, how to make Christmas a less stressful time, and how to go about looking for a new Church family.

The day was still moving through blessings. We were relaxed and decided to go pick up Em's gift from Saks. Saks was empty. Empty. We went to the perfume counter. I had already ordered and paid for the gift--Creed perfume--the one that was made for Audry Hepburn. Luke met an interesting man, an arab from Pakistan, who represents another cool perfume company--Bond. I love their bottles. I want one. He gave samples, but as much as I love these bottles, and the scents-- I LOVE the Creed perfume that was made for Grace Kelly. The salesman put it on my hand about 5:30. it's almost 11 and it still smells great. I love perfume.

Then we went to check out the new Macs. I thought I had a coupon for the new model but not for this store. We're going to check out the Bloomington store and see what the coupon is worth before we decide what to do.

Fun. Relaxed. We started early and so we're relaxed and enjoying the process. Luke and I have fun when we do things together--that's great for our lives and our cells. It brings joy.
