Cheerful Heart

“Beauty is always knocking, we just forget to let it in.” – Sarah Blondin

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up bones.” – Proverbs 17:22

The weather forecast this week is temperatures into the 40s and 50s.
Soon the snowpack will become puddles.
The dormant grass exposed.
The light will linger longer.
The sun stronger.
The earth warms, beginning the thaw.
Spring is on the cusp of leading the dance of shifting seasons.
Winter certainly is not done but closer to the finish than the start.

Blessed are those with a cheerful heart in all seasons.
Who find the gift of winter solace and of spring renewal.
May you see and immerse in beauty in all seasons.
In transitions when one foot is in winter and one in spring.
Dry bones come to life.
A cheerful heart good medicine to heal, restore and transform.

“Beauty is the illumination of your soul.” – John O’Donohue
