Meri's Musings

Some more things that give me joy. . . the feeling that things are about to blossom the way that the light of dawn and dusk gives everything a kind of romantic softness seeing films that inspire, educate, and amaze like "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams" about the Chauvet cave with drawings perhaps 30,000 years old. and experiencing an amazing thread of connectedness that stretches backward and forward and out to other people.

Today I'm finding JOY in small things - like being able to take a deep breath   without triggering a coughing spasm precipitation is falling as rain, at least right now -- though snow is in the forecast I've got some cheery garden ornaments making my garden smile.

Joy isn't always announced by the blaring of trumpets. Sometimes it's heralded by chalk dust and shouts of, "Look, Daddy!" It might rush in like waves to the sand, making you jump for joy because you love your family and life itself so much. Sometimes you find delight in a mug of latte because the barista created a little heart on top with caramel and the "extra-foamy" you asked for. One day I found it at the bottom of a bowl of mushroom soup and took it as a sign my true love was on his way. And if you're like me, even something as simple as red chairs can fill you with joy. Just the way they're lined up so neatly, gathered like friends, and saying, " Come join us!" We'd love to have you join us for Share the Joy Thursday this week.  To play along: 1. do a post that tells and shows us what gives you joy. 2. capture the URL of the specific post and paste it into the Mr. Linky box along with your name. 3. visit...
