Year Of Focus: Week 27 - Joy

“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” 

The Year Of Focus: Week 27

Word of the Week: Joy

the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation:

I want to be rooted in joy, always discovering the good that still exists contrary to the nightly news. The type of joy that arrives with enough warmth of the sunshine to brighten a day. Joy is a choice and to live like the quote, we must choose joy and keep choosing it. 

Be open to the joy that exists in your life. Step outdoors, go for a walk, even music can release a sense of joy. I find joy in our backyard; the warmer days along with nature and the melody of birdsong is sure to bring a smile. There is joy in a walk outdoors, gathering with friends or even when completing a task or goal, these things are all reminders of the joy to be discovered. 

We all have those friends who bring joy as soon as they walk into a room, even in a time of sadness they still know how to find hope. It is time to make your joy contagious.
