"Spend a moment, every day, thinking of someone to love."
-Richard Carlson (Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...and it's all small stuff))

Chapter 42:
"Every morning when I wake up, I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then I ask myself the question, 'Who shall I send love to today?' Instantly, a picture of someone will pop into my mind- a family member, a friend, someone I work with, a neighbor, someone from my past, even a stranger I may have seen on the street. To me it doesn't really matter who it is because the idea is to gear my mind toward love. Once the person to whom I'm directing the love is clear, I simply wish them a day filled with love. I might say to myself something like, 'I hope you have a wonderful day filled with loving kindness.' When I'm finished, which is within seconds, I usually feel that my heart is ready to begin my day. In some mystical way that I can't explain, those few seconds stick with me for many hours. If you give this little exercise a try, I think you'll find that your day is a little more peaceful."
-Richard Carlson
