Sometimes, our lives can get on a joyless cycle of work and responsibility. We must find time – especially NOW – to find joy and peace in everyday moments. Play with the kids or pets, watch a comedy, take a walk in a garden, play a game online with friends – find something that brings you joy so life doesn’t become a circle of dull monotony.
Blessings!
I stand here,
I am where I am,
Fully alive and present
Stress is a sham
Besides the “HOOOOOOO” of a not-so-scary trick-or-treating ghost on Halloween evening, one of the most common sounds you’ll hear is laughter. There is so much joy at Halloween and it can be one of the most fun nights of the year if we allow that into our lives.
We lead busy lives: whether we are studying, running a household, have a demanding job, or all of them at once, it seems there is little time for us to stop, be present, and enjoy exactly where we are at this time. It has been said that the first step of real change is stopping and acknowledging that we actually need change. While sometimes we might feel that there is little to feel happy about and much to change, we can always feel grateful for something right now – and there is power in that position.
It is time to find the joy in this moment and to find that joy more often. Should this card come up in your divination, it heralds arrival of more happiness and profound joy into your life. It is a good omen!
Actively seek pleasure and build in more of the things that give you personal joy and laughter in your life. After all, we build in appointments for the dentist, so why not for our own pleasure?
