TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

"Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets, trying to find you."

                        ~ Hafiz

I used this quote a few months ago but when I came across it yesterday, I felt prompted to employ it today.

Imagine happiness itself wanted to find you, embrace you, be with you! Happiness loves you! 

Joy does too. But joy is not looking for you. It knows exactly where you are because it is always within you, no matter what.
Even when you are deeply sad, hurting, or grieving. 

There are many ways to stir it up so that you can feel it to some extent. One is to pause and notice things you appreciate. Another is to engage in something that uplifts you. Listen to a certain song, smell the scent your favorite scent, talk with a person you love. Be kind to yourself. The possible ways to stir joy are almost endless. 

Be ready to welcome happiness too. 

With joy,
Charlene
