Daily Inspiration: Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne 

Today’s Affirmation:   I stop, I breathe and I rejoice in the little joys of this moment.

Today's Contemplation: We can never catch what lies within.  As long as we are chasing and looking for it outside of ourselves it will elude us.  The only way to find any true desire is to quiet ourselves and allow for the upwelling of the feeling already fulfilled.  The very desire of the feeling, whether it be happiness, peace or joy is proof of its existence within.  After all how can we desire a thing that we do not know?
