Just for today let’s choose joy.
Over and over again I fall into the trap of taking life too seriously.
To-do lists pile up and demands on my time are plentiful. The more I focus on the responsibilities the heavier they become, and pretty soon I am I am fighting my way through the day just to get it all done.
When I look at what I’m doing from a birds eye view it’s silly.
I’m wasting days racing from one thing to the next without enJOYing anything.
That was how my weekend looked. That is why I love a Monday morning reminder to myself about living life. I can’t remember to do them all, but every Monday I can focus on a least one thing that needs a boost.
Let’s choose joy.
No matter how hard, or sad, or busy the day is there are always moments of beauty to take in if we remember to do so.
Lets look for those moments. Let’s seek them out, or hunt them down, or make them up if we have to, and every time we are lucky enough to find one, let’s allow it to soak into our hearts and every fibre of our being.
Just for today, let’s choose joy, and maybe if we are lucky we will create a small habit that will last a little longer than just today.
