This Month: joy!

Kind promise: I will live joyfully without reason.

don't postpone joy until you have learned all ofyour lessons. Joy is your lesson.

In January,I experienced new levels of pain and exhaustion but, having promised myself to joy, when I look back on the month, I feel joy.

I experimented with ways of inviting joy into my life.

I have found the slow running joy of living that lies beneath both sparkly and painful moments, that supports me like the diaphragm supports a deep breath.
