Making Joy!

Let your joy rise to the top! We forget that life is meant to be enjoyed. To do lists, future plans, past regrets and worry frequently fill our minds and we are not free to enjoy the moment. We are meant to THRIVE, not just survive. Grab onto all that is good in your moment. Focus, if only for a moment, on your vitality, abundance, friendship and love that surrounds you right now. Enjoy your life. Cherish your moments. They feel great in your now and become the blue print for your future. Right now, right here let your joy rise to the top!
