  Reading this morning about grief I came across the thought that in loss we can remember the Joy shared with another and this will bring healing. At this Christmas season I am thinking of the loss of my sister recently and focusing of the shared joy we had at finding each other, then having shared times together.

Joy comes in so many different forms. I find joy in spending time with those dear to me. I find joy in nature, just looking out my window and seeing squirrels scampering about. I find joy in sitting in an airplane seat and taking off on an adventure. I find joy in the little things, like finding daffodils beginning to peak out of the ground in February each year.

Where do you find JOY? 

Pictures are just flowers and nature that have brought joy to me this year.

After all, it is the little things.
