Morning Visitor
What brings you joy? Not necessarily the “I hear symphonies” kind of joy; the kind that puts a smile on your face when you weren’t trying – the kind that brings a tear to your eye as the instant comes and goes – the kind that surrounds you like a bubble of happiness. Joy isn’t something you go searching for like an Easter egg – it’s something that finds you when you put yourself in a receptive frame of mind, a feeling that pours over you when you put yourself in an environment conducive to positive energy. Joy is a gift some are given often and a treasure that eludes so many more on a daily basis. I choose to find joy (or joy finds me) in places and things that some people might consider trivial – orioles visiting the garden in the morning, a grand child’s hug, or simply sitting next to my best friend and husband at the end of the day holding hands. I spent a fair amount of time in my past in physical and emotional places surrounded by negativity or fear, places joy avoided like a fever. Once I made some conscious decisions to change my focus, change my environment, upgrade my self worth and celebrate my existence, joy became a frequent visitor, and for that, I remain grateful. Find your place where joy feels welcome!
