A moment of joy

Open up a lil happiness today
So I can be someone new
C'mon and lift me up (to a better way)

Open up a smile on another face
So I can (feel something new)

Open up some happiness

There's enough sunshine to share
As long as you know
The bridge between us is a rainbow

You know how they say that no matter where you are, that is where you are supposed to be – otherwise you would not be there.

This morning I drove to work slightly earlier than usual and I was treated to the most beautiful sight - something that infused a huge sense of joy into my day.

So there I was, creeping slowly along the highway, and as I looked around me, I saw patch after patch of green grass. But unlike other mornings, I noticed there was still morning dew on the grass. Billions of blades of green, covered with dew drops that sparkled their brilliant iridescent rainbow smiles back at the sun - and me.

How could my spirit not be lifted with the most divine and grateful joy? I felt inspired and again irrevocably assured of the magnificent omnipotent presence of “God” all around me. All I had to do was just to be aware and to notice what was around me.

Some days I struggle to think that before, I could go through entire days, sometimes weeks without noticing any of the beauty that surrounds us constantly. I am so very grateful that I can now see it wherever I look, because that is what I want to see - what I choose to see.

I choose to be peripherally aware of all the “drama”, I see it, acknowledge it and I accept that it is there, but I no longer make it my own. We have been given the power to choose. How we use it, what we choose is up to us. I choose to find the light in every moment and situation. That way, my path is always illuminated.

Sure, I have my challenges EVERY day, but they seem so insignificant to all that is good and beautiful in my life. Take a look around, I mean a really honest look, how many of those little, beautiful things are around you? Things that make your being hum with blissful joy.

The inspiring sound of “muse”-ic and nature, greenery all along the highway on your trip to work, dabbed generously with rainbow colours of flowers, even purple trees, people laughing, singing and smiling, puffy shapes in the marshmallow clouds, the warmth of the sun or the coolness of the spring breeze caressing your skin.

Those are just SOME of the things that makes my being sing.

How much does it take for you?
