Word Magic

 

The word this week is French, joie de vi·vre

noun French. a delight in being alive; keen, carefree enjoyment of living.

 

The yellow chair sitting in my garden makes me think of this word. It sits there beckoning me to sit in the garden and just delight in the day.

 

The flowers in this field do the same for me. They just make me smile.


 

In writing this post I am realizing for me the color yellow and the outdoors give me that feeling of joie de vivre.

 

And going to places where I can dream of adventures.

Can you picture just sitting at the end of this dock and dangling your feet in the water? Would that delight you? On Pinterest I have a folder for pictures such of this, it is called "Sitting and Dreaming too". This is where I would do just that with Joie de Vivre. I would be dreaming of adventures, soaking in the late summer sunshine, and watching the birds swim by.

Where is your dreaming place?

Where or what gives you that feeling of Joie de Vivre?
 

Happy new week, dear friends!
