Share the Joy: Rainy Days and Fun-Days



Today's a rainy, cloudy day
in my environs. 
Everyone's hoping it will help
douse the wildfires scorching the eastern part
of my home state.

If it does, that in itself
will be a cause for joy.

Other sources of joy for me:


Cheerful, long-lasting sunflowers
in a tall vase.



Chips & salsa


and a gathering of friends.

How are you cultivating joy? 
Celebrate it.
Share it.

 
1. do a post that tells and shows what gives you joy.
  2. capture the URL of the specific post and paste it into 
the Mr. Linky box along with your info.

3. Visit other players and let their joy infect you.
Leave them a comment because everyone
 enJOYS getting positive feedback.

Let's keep the epidemic of JOY going!

Then reality sets in and we realize that we were mistaken. That soft place to land turns out to be quite a bit less soft than we'd anticipated. In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

Image
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
