take a breath...find the joy.

in flight


pause.
inhale.
notice you.
exhale.
find you.
inhale.
look inside your heart.
exhale.

inhale.
do you see the joy within you?
exhale.

inhale.
do you see the joy that is you?
exhale.

breathe in that joy.
no matter the size...or how far or near the feeling...
just breathe it in.
let yourself live inside that joy...
for this moment.
for this hour.
for this day.

do this one small thing just for you...

I have recently been coming to an understanding that we need to allow ourselves to feel that joy... but also sadness. I think they are tied together, and you can't really get at joy without allowing sadness too.
