It's your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life's story will develop. ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 "In the winter, the snow had become glittery fairy dust that had given all the creatures of the meadow warm clothes and a fire to help them endure the winter.”

― Carla Reighard, Elle's Magical Shoes

Joy For No Reason

I am filled with quiet joy for no reason save the fact that I'm alive.

The message I receive is clear - there's no time - to lose from loving,
no place but here to offer kindness,
no day but this to be my true,
unfettered self and pass the flame from heart to heart.
This is the only moment that exists -
so simple,
so exquisite,
and so real.
