Elation

The sense of exhilaration and great happiness when someone dear to you smiles or makes you laugh.
The power of positivity, to create something from nothing, to be creative.
To overcome negative thoughts and to empower yourself with the determination to achieve that which at first seems impossible.
A sense of pride when you have conquered a fear or when an obstacle which presented itself has been defeated.
The sheer elation and sense of freedom when you can choose to spend time wherever you please:
The great outdoors, to breath in the essence of nature and to feel the warmth of the sun on your back.
Riding a horse, galloping at full speed on open terrain.
Sitting quietly with your thoughts in an open field.

I created ‘Elation’ to represent the positivity and optimism which exists in us all.
