one prayer

Years ago a dedicated student of mine on Guam used to say thank you for every correction and every adjustment. She became my assistant which gave me a chance to learn that this was her style in life, too. She said thank you to everyone who contributed to her life in the tiniest ways, at the gas station, post office, in line waiting with other, everywhere.

When she moved in with us in Seattle to participate in our yoga teacher training program in exchange for childcare, I witnessed her saying thank you to our then eight year old son anytime he cooperated with her. It was her one prayer. I learned from her to simplify my prayers as well for which I am thankful.

If you only had one prayer, what would it be? Where did you learn it? Ki to Happiness says thank you to God-Is for this life and all that has brought me here now.
