Wholeheartedly Happy

“Oh, that magic feeling; nowhere to go.” This line from a Beatles song has always captivated me. I’m sure it can be interpreted many ways, but I’ve always felt in them the coziness which comes from snow outside, with no place I have to go. It’s been delightful on this snowy day, as no one has driven in nor out of my dead-end street. Reading a book, while watching birds at the feeder, is the most perfect day I can imagine. Playing with my cats, watching them decide whether they like snow or not, was delightful. A FaceTime chat with my son and grandsons was the sweetest thing. Texts and chats with friends was a delicious treat. Thinking of all these things at the end of the day brings joy, and I look forward to sleeping and, hopefully, remembering sweet dreams. Oh, that magic feeling …

“To be wholehearted you must be happy. If fear and love cannot coexist, and if it is impossible to be wholly fearful and remain alive, the only possible whole state is that of love. There is no difference between love and joy. Therefore, the only possible whole state is the wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is therefore the same as to integrate and to make one. That is why it makes no difference to what part or by what part of the Sonship the healing is offered. Every part benefits, and benefits equally.”
A Course in Miracles T-5.in.2:1-7

“How little light or heat reach our earth when clouds cover the sun’s face! So Christian Science can be seen only as the clouds of corporeal sense roll away. Earth has little light or joy for mortals before Life is spiritually learned.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 548:9-14
