Joy is kind of a loaded word. What does it really mean? Dictionary.com says "a source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something or someone greatly valued or appreciated." I like the last part the best, something or someone greatly valued or appreciated. Lately, I've been trying to think of joy as not all out elation (although sometimes it is), but more simply pleasure of simple things. Like peanut butter toast in the morning, slipping under crisp clean sheets at night, putting my face up to the sun, coffee with a friend. If we try to "pin" too much happiness on BIG joy, we will be disappointed. Let's en-joy the more ordinary things in our lives. Join

Sammy's find joy list:
1. Have dinner on the patio and catch up with Karl.
2. See friends for coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner.....whatever, wherever.
3. Practice yoga every week and soak in the silence.
The first iris bloom of the season.
Grace and peace to you,
