"If, in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work." ~ Nhat Hanh
May we do this basic kind of peace work by bringing kindness into the world with sincere smiles that spring from joy.
Let's keep the joy within us nurtured and stirred. One way to do that, perhaps the best way, is through gratitude for little things.
Notice moments when you feel uplifted as you appreciate sights, sounds, scents, situations, encounters...anything and everything that delights you.
One such moment for me was noticing this bird on the back of a rocking chair. Simple. But joy stirring.
Wishing you many smiles today, given and received.
And much peace and joy,
Charlene
