I am delighting in my daily joy focus. This time my daily focus differs from how I did it in the past. Previously I would always DO something to feel a certain way like, for example, to feel loving. But I am finding even greater satisfaction at simply seeing my existing life as it is with new eyes. With this focus things that would have flown under my radar before are now highlighted with joy. I am really noticing how much the images I collect tickle me. I feel even more my joy in powerful colors, the perfect word, writing, the sun.
A few days ago a hawk sat right outside our window and stared at us. It was the most gorgeous shade of brown with black tipped wings and the surge of joy that shot through my body was powerful. Today take a moment to slow down beloved and discover at least one thing that inspires joy. When I was going through the dark night of the soul the joy was microscopic and really, I could barely feel it. It seemed a mirage glimmering always in the distance. Yet a breeze on bare skin could evoke the tiniest pleasure. Whatever your joy quotient is today, it is perfect.
