Joy Journal

I've only been keeping a joy journal for about a month now, and I can tell that it's a powerful tool. It helps me pause and notice what's good, even in my moments of exhaustion, fear and sadness.

What's bringing you joy today?

Great photos. Today's joy is the quiet of newly falling snow, orange kitties racing around the yard, a new book to read, a new recipe to try. There are so many things that bring joy. Such a good idea to keep a journal about it. Oh yes, blooming narcissus
Had some ofthe Dragonwell tea you sent me today. It seemed really appropriate, as to me, it had the scent and taste of a winter day, with a bit of floral and citrus to remind me that spring is coming

Your picture of a "winter scene" is not fair! We are gearing up for a major ice/snow storm that is moving in as we speak. I know, I know...you really miss the midwest! :)

I love this winter scene; when there's not snow on the ground, that looks like much of Delaware. I love wetlands, probably because I'm a birdwatcher.

JOY Journals are the very best. Happy today because the sun is shining. Also happy because the dentist didn't find any major work to do on my mouth. :-)

Have you read One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp? She's inspired me to make a list of 1,000 gifts from my daily life.
