Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Today

Not every day

needs to be

incredibly grand

or overplanned

It is the small

that makes each day

what it is

Let go of

planning your joy out

let go of overwhelm

Wake up and breathe

step out and see

believe and know

you can’t do it all

and that’s not a tragedy

You may stay in

and lay away the day

That’s ok

or you might see

extraordinary things outside

The quiet

and the bold

work together

to make a life

not one is better

Remember

most of life

is you inside

Don’t make that place inside

hard to bear

by pressuring yourself

to make the most of life

Just live

and be at peace

with every unused moment

all full of worth

because you

are

full of worth
