What a switch from yesterday! Yesterday was the perfect sunny, warm day with clear skies to take a drive into the mountains. It was as lovely as I remembered, and the views filled me with deep joy. Today is a perfect day to snuggle in and read a good book. I might even go get ingredients to bake something, which is one of my very favorite activities.
Joy can be found no matter the outward situation, I believe. There are sometimes those circumstances in which the positives are deeply hidden, and I don’t mean to make light of them. Often, the sense of the positive can only be found after the ‘dark night of the soul’ has been faced and is now behind us. I get that. But on days like today, when the sun is hiding and the warmth has disappeared, joy takes on a different form.
Today, I am grateful for easy, slow, and comforting activities—which actually might be called “non-activities”! I give myself permission to not worry about accomplishing anything. Today, I will simply Be Here Now.
