Joy

I decided I needed one entire blog devoted only to Joy...

Joyful thoughts
Joyful experiences
Joyful pictures

So here goes...

JOY
Watching your children live out your dream for them

Inspiring others to see the best in themselves

Seeing the eyes of your children light up in delight

Praising and singing to God
to each other
to the showerhead

Feeling the warmth of your home after
a rainy football game
a snowy commute
a difficult day

Smelling a homecooked meal
that you didn't cook

Being greeted by the unconditional love
of your dog

Watching your boy play football
and your girl play soccer
and your boy play baseball
and your girl play baseball
and your boy play soccer
and your girl play basketball

Hearing your kids
singing their favorite songs
while listening to their iPods

Shopping

Drinking coffee

Having your best friend call you
JUST when you absolutely
NEED to hear her voice

Sitting by a waterfall
in a hot tub
next to a pool
overlooking the ocean,
the mountains,
and a golf course

Hitting a perfectly straight, long drive off the tee

Owning comfortable shoes

Owning a washing machine that actually cleans your clothes

Celebrating a hard-earned college degree
24 years after the dream began

So much Joy
in so many places

I just need to focus my attention on it.
