It's there, it really is

Whatever may be the tensions and the stresses of a particular day, there is always lurking close at hand the trailing beauty of forgotten joy or unremembered peace. Howard Thurman

Each day holds, perhaps under its surface, joy and peace. I disagree with Thurman that it is "or". I believe it is both. Some days are tougher than others but each day has beauty in it. Sometimes we might have to dig a little deep for it. So dig deep. Find it because you won't regret it. You won't regret the deep dig you might have to do because when you unearth the peace and joy you will find your day improves. You will find the tensions and stresses are diminished in light of the peace and joy that is there. Joy and peace? It's there, it really is.
