Joy that is conditional is not joy at all. It is merely fleeting pleasure that will be gone the moment conditions change.
Real joy is and will always be. Nothing can take it away.
Real joy cannot be earned, attained or achieved. It is there when you accept it and allow it.
Agreeable conditions and pleasurable circumstances are not the cause of joy. Rather, it's the other way around.
When you live with joy, that joy infects the world around you. When you live each moment with joy, you see that joy reflected back to you from all directions.
Let the joy of living flow forth from you, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. And see what a real, positive difference it can make.
"We are Nature. We are Nature seeing Nature. The red-winged Blackbird flies in us."
Susan Griffin
The natural world is my mentor and wise companion. I bless the natural world and I allow the natural world to guide me. I allow the rain to teach me its lessons of freshness and renewal. I allow my spirit to be washed clean of any lingering doubts, angers, and anxieties. Washed by the love of Spirit, I am eager and open to undertake new growth. Quenched by Divine love, I blossom ever more freely and more fully. Like the rain, I allow myself seasons. I accept loss. I accept change. I expect growth. Like the rain, I am a passing blessing on this earth. I ask that I, too, be a refreshing gift for those who encounter me, that I bless them with tenderness and leave them more refreshed.
My joy comes from the knowledge that I am seeing the hottest cabaret act in town tonight!! WOOHOO!!!
Wednesday is a wish list. A small choice helps generosity.
rath, i finally saw your response to yesterday's wingmail...
Hey - cool new Icon, my love - "It TWIRRRRLLLLLLDDD UP!!!!!!"
"Well!"
Interestingly, I'm having a breakfast smoothie.
oohhh - blueberries, strawberries, a banana, yogurt, skim milk, and Vodka?
Perhaps...
Vodka - not just for breakfast anymore!
A beautiful sentiment for a beautiful life. Joeyjoe, may you be rewarded with kindness. My dear Rathnait and NYadgal - I fear you jest a little too freely about the flowing of vodka. Jesting I pray it is - I urge you, drink life to feel drunk.
Much love, Moondrops
