My camera is broken right now so I didn't want to leave you hanging with nothing to look at while you read a post....

This morning on my way to work I saw a man whistling while he walked down the street with a very light step and a really big smile. Normally this wouldn't have caught my eye but this man was severely physically disabled yet the way he carried himself exuded pure joy just to be making his way down the road. It really made me think- I need more joy in my life. Sometimes I wait for people or things to bring me joy. I know that never works but it's just good to be reminded about the things that bring you joy everyday.

Like:

• Hearing the garage door go up when Jeff gets home
• Isaac & Jonah's after-school stories
• Eli & Josh eating chicken nuggets like they are mana from heaven
• running
• cold milk
• clean sheets (ok, not everyday joy but weekly joy:)
• story time...
• followed by naptime
• fresh cut lines in the grass
• warm showers
• gel pens
• good deals
• freshly bathed boys

I could go on, but needless to say, I will be seeking the joy more in my everyday life.

Here's to a great day!
