All real works of art
look as though they
were done in joy.
Robert Henri
One's pain is one's own creation.
There is a Tibetan expression that
one should treat such things as if
they were wind behind one's ear.
In other words, just brush it aside.
Dalai Lama
If you make an effort to be grateful right now, to notice and dwell on the good stuff, to actually say "thank you" internally as you go along, it will only feel weird for a while. Eventually it takes on a life and rhythm of it's own that can really draw you in as long as you wish to maintain it. Sort of a 'Comfort Spiral.' And one good thing is, that it prevents the tiny black weeds from growing up and choking your joy. Cloudia
