What brought you JOY - Week 7

"Choose kindness and laugh often."

What brought you JOY: Week 7

With a determined effort, I choose to instill joy in each day by highlighting the spaces that envelop me in happiness. These simple moments I get to share every single day as the sunlight dances through a window while the silly dog chases a ball, his determined spirit a sprinkle of joy all its own.

Some days we go in search of joy, others it lands in our lap when we head out the door... On this particular evening, I laughed until my cheeks hurt, belly laughs that erupted around the room, releasing a happiness into the atmosphere without any pretense.

The laughter was a gentle reminder to all of the joy that still exists, the sweetness we only recognize when we allow ourselves to experience what is before us.

This sweet sound blanketed the room with joy, delivering a warmth of laughter only to beget more. When we hear another infectious laugh it's cadence begs you to join as the atmosphere lifts your spirit and distracts the mind from its insistent chatter.

A murder mystery immersed in laughter is a capsule of joy to anyone's day...
