Joy

“Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.” – Terry Pratchett 

Our world has been going through crazy and difficult times — to say the least. We worry out the future of our countries and our families while we still deal with our own personal challenges. It can all be overwhelming. But during it all it is important that we seek out and latch onto those little glimmers of joy. Recognize that “feeling inside that can hardly be contained” and let it grow. Let it bubble up till it spills out and transforms these dark times.

This month we will celebrate joy.
