Sunday Joy
Isn’t joy wonderful? That feeling of overwhelming happiness that seems to come out of nowhere? Wouldn’t it be great if we could call it up anytime, whenever we feel the need? Well, maybe we can get close to that.
Joy is a result of accepting the present moment. This means not crowding it out with worrying about what happened yesterday, or what might happen tomorrow. Just accept what is happening right now. Oh, I know – it’s not easy. But you have probably experienced this feeling before, when you were so absorbed in something you were doing that you became “lost in the moment”.
When this happens, when we are gloriously “lost”, time seems to stand still, and a feeling of joy results. Also, when we accept and embrace the present moment, we begin to notice things that escaped us before. All the little beautiful things that slipped right by us.
This week try to capture joy by living in the present without worry or fear - leftover or projected. Just now.
