The art of joy is having a love affair with life. It is embracing life, drawing close to you all the beauty and wonder and goodness of the universe. It is having a heart aglow with warmth for all your companions on the journey of life. It is making the most of now, enjoying what is at hand. It is the putting forth of all your powers. As you work with joy, you find joy in your work. Joy is love bubbling forth into life.
Wilferd Peterson
My mother had written this on a beautiful card for me years ago. I found it when we moved and put it in my kitchen to remind me every morning what I should be doing. Sometimes I forget to read it, but when I do I am moved and want to embrace all that life has to offer.
