On our cynical days, we say, oh please, you think joy is possible, or effective, or realistic? And i say, yes, it’s all three. But if it isn’t within reach today, if the idea of joy is depressing, try one of joy’s younger siblings, instead: Try hope for something a bit better tomorrow, try mild optimism, try ten seconds of peace. Try anything that gives you more energy right now. We’ll find our way back to joy that way. (Thanks to Esther.)

This is more powerful than most people realize… :o)
’10 seconds of peace’ is really all my sad state can take in today- do you know how wonderful and freeing it is to give myself permission to do just that?
Ahhh beautiful 🙂 great post x
Stella, So glad this is freeing. I feel the same way.
