Share the Joy


I used to host a blog meme called
"Share the Joy" on Thursday morning.
It celebrated the little (or big) moments
during each week when you noticed
that something touched your heart
or brought a smile to your face.

Seems to me that honoring joy
invites more of it into your life.
And that's a good thing.

dear meri-how i loved your share the joy! and all the sweet togetherness bloglandia use to fill our days with. i want to thank you for your uplifting blog home here over the years. i find i am rarely on the computer any more...an aging mother to care for, life more complex and demanding. when i am home my aging cat must occupy my lap-and i sense the holding and comforting of him is way to compelling than trying to juggle his repose to reach the computer. i am only able to visit you now as he is filling the whole chair and i am perched on an inch or two on the very edge. such a true imagine of my current life-a bit on the edge but maintaining balance by sheer will and enduring love!
may this find you well and enjoying the gathering JOY you instill so deeply in those around you!
xoxo

Then reality sets in and we realize that we were mistaken. That soft place to land turns out to be quite a bit less soft than we'd anticipated. In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

Image
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
