Be Aware of Joy

Published: Oct. 9, 2020, 11 a.m.

Morning Mantra: "It's not how much we have, but how much we enjoy it, that makes us happy."

Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they didn't find it, but because they never stopped to enjoy it. 

Joy isn't just found in big events or accomplishments.  It's found in the little moments that slip by unless we make a point to notice.

You miss them because you are forging ahead towards the big things. 

You miss them because you are too busy comparing your life to others.

You miss joy when you ignore a sunset, a field of flowers, passing clouds, birds singing, the leaves turning.

You miss joy when you don't recognize it in the form of a warm cup of coffee, a good night's sleep, the dew on the grass.

You miss the opportunity for joy when you fail to notice that you are getting stronger, that you can walk a little further each day, or when your muscles are tired from a good day in the barn.

Joy is in you.  It's all around you. Take time to acknowledge it and it will change your life.
