The joy in you is precious.

Sometimes, joy can be exuberant, even boisterous. Then, there is the quiet joy that fills one with warm, happy feelings. This laid-back jazz ballad is about that quiet joy. It helps you remember what you are happy about, what you are grateful for, hopeful about, and what you love. It helps you remember that the joy within you is precious.

Cherish it. Love it. Give it what it needs. And it will be with you always.

Surrender is often associated with resignation, failure, being overpowered. But what if you're surrendering to someone or something you deeply love? What if you are surrendering to your purpose in life, knowing that this is why you are alive? Then, what you are surrendering is whatever has confused you, or diverted you from what's most important to you. You are, in effect, surrendering whatever has kept you from being fully alive, to that which is what you truly are. 

This is a Sweet Surrender! May it be that you know this well in your own life.
