Quotes
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
I find ecstasy in living - the mere sense of living is joy enough. ~ Emily Dickinson
I am that I am, I am beauty, I am peace, I am joy, I am one with Mother Earth. I am one with everyone within the reach of my voice. In this togetherness, we ask the divine intelligence to eradicate all negatives from our hearts, from our minds and from our actions. And so be it. ~ Babatunde Olatunji

Quotes
Be true and sincere and loving in your human relationships. ~ White Eagle
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enter the day invigorated with the essence of possibility, go through it energized with a sense of purpose and joy and end it with the serenity of completion. ~ Darina Stoyanova

Guilty Pleasures
A few weeks ago we watched the Sing Off on NBC; a great show (sort of American Idol like) with groups singing without musical instruments. They had a themes for each evening they sang. One of those themes was Guilty Pleasure songs. To me the majority of the songs picked weren't what I thought of as being Guilty Pleasures. Like the B-52's Love Shack; it's a classic, one of my all time favorites and definitely on my top 10 Road trip songs. Anyway the show got me thinking about Guilty Pleasures.
Why should anything that puts a smile on our face and joy and happiness in our heart make us feel guilty? If we like a song, an artist, a dessert, comfort food or whatever shouldn't we just admit it and enjoy it? I'm not saying we should eat the whole cake in one sitting, I'm just saying that when you have it enjoy it, savor it and don't feel guilty about it.
We all deserve the things that we find joy or pleasure in. Anything that puts a smile on your face is nothing to feel guilty about. So go out today and dance to the music that moves you and enjoy the things that bring joy and happiness to your heart.
