"In gratitude, our hearts always dance for joy."
~ Matthew Kelly
There's delight in joy. And isn't it beautiful?
Beauty is in each of the gifts. Surely there is beauty in strength, courage, compassion, hope, love. All of the powerful resources that help us live well shine with beauty.
I can't find the exact quote, but the philosopher Plato said that when we reach for any of our gifts, we draw them all
to us because they commune with one another. They are like friends that hang out together.
Let's befriend beauty today - the beauty that is within us as well as the beauty in nature and the outer world.
Start by practicing authentic gratitude for something. Minimally, that will result in a subtle sensing of joy. Or it could trigger a stirring of
joy or even an outright bubbling up of joy. To whatever degree our gratitude draws forth joy, beauty will be right there too, in part because you are beauty-full.
Truly,
Charlene
