 * Joy of Life ... enthusiasm is the motor of life At times we resemble placid waters waiting wearily for the caress of a cheerful breeze to stir us from slumberous tepidness. Do you remember the eagerness shining in the eyes of children when they explore this world? All of life’s wonders are displayed for us to be seen, known and shared yet often we walk with our eyes shut while all the beauty parades in vain. Only utter amazement and awe seem adequate reactions when we deeply contemplate the miracle of Creation. Our divine origin and source cries out for boundless enthusiasm, for accelerated heartbeats and unrestrained excitement. Life’s colors unfold daily to delight our hearts and to lift us out of sorrow whenever we feel cold. Let Joy flow freely through you, dip your soul into Love’s essence and raise your voice to heaven in a passionate song of praise. Express joy ... skip across the lawn! Reach far ... reach for the stars, your every breath holds the world, in eternal connection to God! Do you remember the eagerness shining in the eyes of children when they explore this world? |

"Only utter amazement and awe seem adequate reactions when we deeply contemplate the miracle of Creation." ~ Amen to that!  "Express joy ... skip across the lawn! Reach far ... reach for the stars, your every breath holds the world, in eternal connection to God!" Hallelujah! "Do you remember the eagerness shining in the eyes of children when they explore this world?" ~ Like yours, mine are still shining as I explore this world of ours! You got my motor running with this song of praise! May joy continually flow through you ~ and your pen! A treat to read your words once more!  Linda |

YES! Be in awe of all...But do not be surprised by the beauty in all moments. For every moment is beautiful when you eliminate your judgements...as every moment has its own divinely beautiful purpose. Your work here at PiP has so enlightened me! Love, Patricia |

Margherita- You so well express the gifts of joy that surround us every moment of every day should we only open our eyes and see once more as if a child. I loved reading this - very inspirational - Love Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
