Time for joy

Words can inspire, motivate and change us if we let them. Words can lift us to action. Words can move us to anger and rage or to love and tears. Most important, words can heal.

Good morning! What a glorious day. In fact, perfect for a birthday party in the park. This afternoon the three of us are going to a playground in Regents Park to celebrate Sean’s mate Alfie (Swedish mother and English father) who’s turning one.

Now, over to something completely different. Every morning I (and Bear) read little book of daily affirmations called “Time for Joy”, and today’s message is one that I'd like to share:

Everytime we thought we found what made us happy, it eventually changed, became less meaningful or fulfilling. Everytime we thought we had arrived, there was always another road to take, another hill to climb.

There will always be something else that we want and somewhere else to go. That is life. It moves and changes and never stays the same.

Today we are learning that we already have all that we need within us and we are discovering our connection with the spiritual energy of the universe.

"Recognise that no matter how many times we get what we want, it always passes"
