This is a timely re-post for the Holidays. Whenever you see twinkle lights, let your joy in that moment come to life … and share it ✨🙏✨
“Twinkle lights are the perfect metaphor for joy. Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments – often ordinary moments.
Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we’re too busy chasing down extraordinary moments. Other times we’re so afraid of the dark that we don’t dare let ourselves enjoy the light.
A joyful life is not a floodlight of joy. That would eventually become unbearable.
I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude, inspiration, and faith.”
~ Brené Brown

What a beautiful message from Brene Brown. I love it.
….and sending Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to you, Val. Hope you have an enjoyable time with family and friends and a safe, healthy and Happy start to 2020. Look forward to reading more of your uplifting posts in the New Year.
It’s so easy to get caught up in a hectic whirlwind of activity at this time of the year, but I’m hoping you have plenty of time to ‘Smell the Roses’ and just live in the moment – enjoying the small simple things which make your day restful and relaxing 🙂
