“Peace is joy at rest, and joy is peace on its feet.” – Anne Lamott

I wish you both peace and joy today, a balance of rest and activity too.

These gifts in us – the highest qualities in us – are closely related. It’s fun to look at them like Anne Lamott did. Give it a try. How about: Compassion is courage that has been softened like butter then kneading like bread. And courage is fortified compassion, like dough that has risen and doubled in size.

Notice your gifts today, those highest of qualities in you, with appreciation and imagination. Invite one like a friend and see what gift comes along and is similar. Perhaps they all will!

Wishing you that kind of day!

With abundant blessings,
Charlene
