I've had one of those days today when you smile inside & out........

No particular reason, in fact it's been a very ordinary day - full of domestic normality - but on several occasions I've had that tummy clenching feeling of joy that reminds you 'it's good to be alive'!
Ignatius describes a feeling called 'consolation' as when "the soul is aroused by an interior movement that causes it to be inflamed with love of its creator and Lord, and consequently can love no created thing on the face of the earth for its own sake, but only in the creator of all things" so maybe that's what's it's all about...............
