SkyWatch Friday - Clouds May, 2025 - Quote - Brené Brown - Joy

Image 0085 Clouds May, 2025

Quote: "Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments - often ordinary moments. Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we're too busy chasing down the extraordinary moments. Other times we're so afraid of the dark we don't dare let ourselves enjoy the light. A joyful life is not a floodlight of joy. That would eventually become unbearable. I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude and inspiration." ~ Brené Brown

Quote: "To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another; and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another." ~ Leonardo da Vinci

Thinking Outside the Box

Quote: “Everything is connected. The wing of the corn beetle affects the direction of the wind, the way the sand drifts, the way the light reflects into the eye of man beholding his reality. All is part of totality, and in this totality man finds his hozro, his way of walking in harmony, with beauty all around him.” ~ Tony Hillerman, The Ghostway

Quote: “Our intentions act as the rudder of our ship, guiding us unerringly towards our chosen destination amidst the turbulent seas of life. Without intention, our actions are as aimless as the leaf adrift on the wind, susceptible to the faintest of gusts.” ~ Kevin L. Michel, The Power of the Present: A Stoic's Guide to Unyielding Focus
