Joy
"choose it or loose it"
“choose joy”
“each and everyday, choose joy”
Somewhere in the short conversations of each day at the shops I find veins of gold to remind me of what’s important and who I most want to be.
A woman shared quietly as her eyes were tearing up the whispers of her dear mentor, friend who even as a hospice patient is keen on embracing every last drop of the sweetness of life.
At 95 years young, she implores her friend to remember to always “choose joy.”
Let it be the first choice of your day.
No distractions, heavy thoughts to weigh you down, burdens and struggles will come and go and moments stolen by shame and despair will be lost forever.
I smiled across from the counter as our eyes met and I nodded.
The hairs on my arms stood tall at attention as our energies swirled, embracing one another and climber higher and higher in the moment.
Joy is not something to be trifled with, joy is a powerful force of nature.
Smile, laugh, and feel light in your heart.
“choose joy”
