Learning Life Lesson's from a Baby

Life is full of first times. My list is pretty long now, but I have to say the latest addition to my list has Grandma Nona on it. Nothing could have prepared me for this awesome opportunity. I am talking about my Little Ava of course. She is 7 months old, now, and already she's a wise teacher to me.
One aspect constantly work on for myself is being in the moment. Enjoying each moment, currently as it is, not looking back to the past not trying to live in the future that isn't here yet. When I am with Ava I fully get to 'be' in the moment. I love it.
Her biggest lessons to me of late has been
• make eye contact. Really look at the person speaking to you. This melts my heart.
• words don't have to be spoken.
• Always smile a lot. ( this melts my heart too)
• Reach out and touch someone ( ok, maybe don't grab a strangers nose, but touch is good- humans are hungry for that)
• Take naps when needed - wake up refreshed, (and more smiling)
• Don't be shy in front of the camera
• When something strikes you as funny- just go ahead and laugh !

So there you have it. I have learned a lot lately, and been reminded, too, about some pretty important things in life, by a 7 month old baby! Now putting into practice all of this in everyday life is the critical part. How would practicing any of these elements work for you in your daily personal or business life? Would it help you 'be' in the present any more or any less?
