Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are. – Marianne Williamson

Joy
“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.”
-Brene Brown
Joy
I know that Joy is right around the corner from me
Peaking out with its familiar face
Trembling that we’ll miss eachother
With fear that she’ll not recognize me
Smiling, bright eyed
I wait for
Joy.
