In Others’ Words: Small Joys

Just for today, let’s set aside the word “goal,” shall we?

Just for today, let’s also set aside the word “happiness.” (Although I had an interesting discussion about happiness while I was in Breckenridge this past weekend. Another blog post.)

Small joys. I want to talk with you all about small joys. 

So often I laser in on the goal — whatever goal I think is going to bring me the “big happiness” — and I overlook all the small joys in every. single. day. You’re human just like me. And I know you can get wrapped up in goals and run right past the daily joys, too.

I’m on an editing deadline right now. The “big happiness” at the end of that goal? My new release in May 2018. But what are some small joys from this week?

Praying with my daughter CJ before she headed out for volleyball tryouts.
Watching my GRANDgirls romp in the Chik-fil-a play area.
Scrolling through my Instgram feed and “hearting” all the uplifting posts. (I love Instagram!)
Walking in the evenings with my husband and our dog, Jo, who is named after Jo in Little Women

 

In Your Words: I’d love for you to join the conversation today. What are some of your small joys from this week?
