One day, I spontaneously started a game with my husband that became known as the Watching Your Back game.  I don’t remember the specific incident when I first uttered, “I’m watching your back.”  It had something to do with something my husband usually takes care of himself, but for whatever reason he had not done it.  When I stumbled upon it, I took care of it for him.  Then, when I saw him I said, “I’m watching your back.” And so began this game of I watch your back, you watch mine.

One time, my husband left for work and left his lunch bag sitting on the kitchen counter.  I grabbed it and ran down the driveway just in time to hand it to him through the car window before he pulled into the street.  “I’m watching your back,” I crooned cheerfully.

Another time I left the kitchen and left the oven on.  Later, my husband told me he had turned it off for me. “I’m watching your back!” he said.  It felt good. Who's watching your back?

I mention this because I can remember a time when watching your back was not my thought. When I found something left undone by someone, I would be irritated.  Especially when other people you work with or live with are suppose to do tasks that they neglect or forget to do.  To move into the loving vibration of watching each other’s backs, feels good and could completely change the climate of a home or workplace.  I think we need more of watching each other’s backs.  

If you are not already  watching the back of a loved one, considering doing it.  If you are, expand the game to include people in your workplace, your community, your state, your planet.  Look for opportunities to say to someone, “I’m watching your back.”  If they catch on, they’ll start watching your back.  

Until you return, fill your days with GIGGLES, JOY, APPRECIATION!
