Finding Joy!

Everyday there are places in my day to find joy. I get dressed. I make meals. I write. I knit. I exercise. I work in a yarn shop. These are the simple rhythms of my day. I’ll confess I am definitely a glass half full kind of gal. I find joy most every day. My secret? I to find joy. I look close and it’s always there.

I get dressed.

Joy in wearing my handknits.

Joy in discovering a skirt that still fits!

Joy in clean clothes.

I make meals.

Joy in the farmers market twice a week.

Joy in trying new recipes.

Joy in preparing comfort food, serving old favorites.

I write.

Joy in connecting my thoughts on the page.

Joy in thinking through ideas I want to share.

Joy in notes sent to friends far away.

I knit.

Joy in the calming rhythm of my stitches.

Joy in working with good materials.

Joy in creating items for loved ones.

I exercise.

Joy in the health exercise brings me.

Joy in activities that get me outside in beautiful settings.

Joy in quiet times just me and God.

I work in a yarn shop.

Joy in helping customers with knitting troubles.

Joy in seeing projects from clients.

Joy in playing with new fibers!

If you look you can find joy throughout your day too. From waking to though sound of a summer rain on the roof to sleeping in comfortable bed made with clean sheets there are tiny and tremendous delights to be found. Each can bring you a moment of joy as well as a lasting sense of blessing. I hope you will find a joyful moment in your day today. Take a look it’s there.

Where do you find joy?
