Sharing little joys
When we fill our hearts with wonder and gratitude, it shows. Love’s light sparkles in our eyes and glows in our faces, and its music is heard in our laughter.
So many go through life measuring success by the money or memories they make. But money can’t buy happiness, and memories fade. Only one currency compounds endlessly with no risk or devaluation, and only one yardstick measures true for all time—love.
The past year brought countless opportunities to give and share love; to care enough to listen, to act for the good of all, to speak from the heart, and to laugh with life and at ourselves.
It has been a year of change and growth for us, and for many of you too. And that is as it should be: that’s what we’re here for. How much we’ve grown shows in how we face life—is it with courage, faith, heart, joy, vision, and service?
If it is, we’ll roll with the punches, have fun with our circumstances whenever possible, and for the rest, use it for positive transformation. With love we can turn almost any experience into joy.
So let’s spread the light and music of love all around. It is a healing medicine for all that ails the world, and a gift we can give to others every day of the year.
