Quote of the day:  “We have been given a gift that is really, really precious. Its simple. It isn’t going to get us anything. It isn’t there to augment anything. Its there for us to be able to experience something that is within ourselves. It is not there to change our religions, our practices, our daily lives. But it is only there for one reason, for one reason alone.  Simple happiness. Simple joy.” ~Maharaji

Joy! (playing around with pig nose)

Life is a gift.  Even in the midst of sorrow, there is joy.  Simple joy. Sometimes sweet, sometimes bittersweet.  I believe in savoring joy, seeking it out, and basking in simple delight.

Here are some things that bring me simple joy – moments with family, innocence of children,  scent of a flower, warmth of the sun, clouds in the sky, trees, being in nature, cooking a meal, creating, playing with color, breathing, smiling, loving, being, making photos…

What brings you joy?  Can it be simple and easy? Notice something that brings you joy today.
