When was the last time you gave yourself permission to do something simply because it made you happy?
I've come to realize that wanting a little quiet time isn't selfish. Neither is spending an afternoon doing something you love.
We don't always have to please everyone else.
Sometimes we're so busy thinking about yesterday or worrying about tomorrow that we forget to enjoy the life we're living right now.
But what happens when we loosen our grip on those old stories and give ourselves permission to explore?
Maybe you'll discover you love painting, even if you've never held a paintbrush. Perhaps you'll plant a garden, write a poem, dance around your kitchen, or prepare a wonderfully decadent dinner just because you feel like it!
And who says it has to be perfect?
Some of life's most beautiful moments happen when we stop worrying about getting everything right.
Be thankful for the goodness already in your life, and leave a little room for something wonderful you haven't discovered yet.
What is something you've always wanted to try, just for the joy of it?
