Yesterday I went to a performance of Handel's Messiah. Multiple times during the performance it took every ounce of control I had not to just start sobbing because it was just so fucking beautiful and I was so full of joy I thought I might fly apart. 

Often we struggle with painful and negative emotional extremes. But we can also feel happiness to a degree that would take a lot of drugs for most people. 

Wishing you all some beauty and joy.
