in harmony once again

I was just getting mighty irritated with my colleague yesterday(Friday evening) when my boss dumped some of his work on me as he wasworking on another assignment. And yesterday evening when I saw mycolleague and he came to talk to me smilingly, I did not talk to himproperly as I could not help it. I was angry and I just ignored him.

But this anger and irritation had taken me away from my center and Iwas feeling the disconnect, the discomfort. I had been trying thebalance of the day to get back into my center but I just was so angryI wanted to be mean and hurt him, it seemed like that was the onlything which may give me satisfaction. So I sat in silence totallyinto my work, and worked like a dog the whole day.

When I was going back home, I'm still tryng to work these feelings inmy head. I was thinking what a lovely long weekend I have and I mayprobably ruin it with my own irritation. Just then out of the blue, Iremembered my (late) Grandfather.

I told my Grandfather with all emotions what had happenned(in mymind, I felt like he was really there listening to me). He then toldme that, "Come on Anu, it is just a two more departments you have todo isn't it? And you are SO good at what you do. It's not going totake you time. Don't be mean or rude or unkind. Just accept it. Dontresist it. You don't want this to spoil your weekend, don't you?.."And there are some other things he told me, which I don't quietremember now. He was so lovingly telling me these things that I gotso easily calm and centered in myself.

My anger, resistance and irritation which I'd been working on for thewhole day yesterday just disintegrated into thin air, even as I wastalking. It had something to do with the warmth and love which myGrandfather gave me and the wise words which he spoke made me SObelieve in him and listen to him. I suddenly realised I'm back to myold own cheerful bubbly spirited self and I thought about mycolleague and a smile broke out of my face. The irritations andresistance feelings were GONE and there was a certain 'allowing'replacing it.

Probably, Grandfather was my own voice. But I knew, he would havesaid exactly those words. He would not let me brood or fret over theissue. It would be so irrelevant and insignificiant for him.

I'm so glad to be in harmony again. I could do 7 moredepartments easily in this state of mind LOL! Do it in utterpleasure, joy and excitement topped with spontaineity and enthusiasm.And what's more...I'd be enjoying myself too in that process :)
