Living in Joy

You know that super excited feeling you get when you are getting ready to go do something fun? That awesome feeling when you are getting ready to land in a plane in a new place to explore. It’s joy right? What if you could live in joy and constantly feel joy? I L-O-V-E joy. I love that all over tingly, going to jump to the sky, I’m so awesome, doing awesome things, feeling of JOY. Don’t you? Living in joy is doing all the things you love, no longer making excuses on why you can’t and just live. Live your life in abundance of joy. I am by no means saying that there won’t be challenges, Lord knows those suckers aren’t going anywhere but we are responsible for our walk through those challenges.

I recently read back through one of my many journals and I’ve always kept a list of things I love. These lists are my reminders of who I am. Life strays me from honoring my true self. Being a Mom and Wife has been a constant giving of myself and sometimes forgetting an important party…umm… Spongebob! Duh…ME! The idiot that just put a pair of dirty socks in the fridge in the process of straightening up the house so Hubs can relax when he gets home from work and sit down to a gourmet meal that is now burning because I forgot why I was standing at the fridge to begin with.  See how easy this can happen? I know you do. The funny thing is as I’m reading through the list of my Joys from years ago, nothing changed. I love the same shit. I’m the same person and my inner-self needs the same things and I’m not talking about relationships. I’m talking about things that give me, Wendy, JOY, like Lavender! I love lavender and I want to grow lavender. I want to actively practice yoga and meditation. I like being creative, cooking, organizing, photography, reading, learning about everything (lately essential oils), sewing, being outdoors, and that list of what gives me Joy goes on. I want to honor myself and the things that give me that all over tingly, I’m the bomb.com feeling. I want to share it with you. I want to inspire you to find your Joy and live it. This will be our journey but my commitment is to be mindful, to be present, to honor myself and “Live in Joy”.

With all my love,
Wendy
