Living Joyfully

Finding our Joy. We hear that a lot. But how do we find our Joy? I am learning how to find mine. I am choosing to LOOK....really LOOK at the things I enjoy, and do them more. For instance, I enjoy starting my day reflecting on a bible verse and doing a quick devotional. I also enjoy writing my goals down for the day, even though I may or MAY NOT accomplish them all. Finding my joy is using the perfume I got for Christmas even though I'm just going to the grocery store, or plating my food to make it look pretty and using the good china for just a tuna sandwich. I paint my toes in the winter and I try to eat a lot of meals outside in pretty weather.

Finding my joy is listening to an ebook while soaking in a bubble bath with candles burning. It is wearing cute pajamas even though no one will see me. And it is reflecting on my day and journaling about the three things for l which I am grateful. By surrounding yourself with the people and the things you love, you are creating your own joy. How do you find YOUR joy?
