Is cultivating joy difficult?
When feelings of frustration, sadness, hurt, anger and disappointment plague us,
we wonder, is it really worth looking for the silver lining?
Being joyful?
Yes, it is.
Stay the course.
Remember when the Grinch stole Christmas and the next morning all The Who’s in Whoville gathered in the village, and holding hands, they sang. All they had were each other, yet their hearts filled with genuine joy.
Humor me and read the lyrics. Or, sing them in your head!
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas come this way
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas, Christmas day
Welcome, welcome fahoo ramus
Welcome, welcome dahoo damus
Christmas day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas bring your cheer
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome all Whos far and near
Welcome Christmas, fahoo ramus
Welcome Christmas, dahoo damus
Christmas day will always be
Just so long as we have we
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas bring your light
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas, Christmas day
Welcome Christmas, fahoo ramus
Welcome Christmas, dahoo damus
Welcome Christmas while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand
“Christmas day will always be
Just so long as we have we”
When we choose to find the joy and celebrate the joy, we become the joy.
It’s easier than you think.
Cheers to JOY!
