What's The Smallest Thing You Will Do Today To Find Something Good?

It's been a tough week. Lots of bad news. Lots of despair and pain and anger and worry. Boston and Texas are on my mind.

But my cherry tree is blooming anyway. There is a quiet kind of order in the way the grass is greening up, and every once in a while, the wind settles down to stillness.

My heart needs that kind of stillness; just a breath in the midst of all the chaos. We can't ignore the bad stuff; it exists.

But we can try to find some little bit of good someplace, and then look for more, encouraging that to shine out. As long as there is a ray of light, there is hope.

And there will be a ray of light as long as there are stars and a sun. I have faith in you, as you read this, whoever you are. You are a ray of light. Shine.

That's the smallest thing I will do today to find something good. I already did...it's you.
