Open your heart to joy

Today, I am grateful for the things that bring me joy…the way my dog stretches and smiles in the morning, the warm greeting and delicious coffee from my local barista, seeing little rain droplets gently falling in the air, a morning text from a friend, connecting with a loved one. There is joy all around us, all we have to do is open our hearts to receive it. 

I am learning when to push myself and when to pause. I am learning to listen to my heart and my body. 

I accomplished sorting through a pile of stuff I had been avoiding. 

I delighted in seeing two young people in love, in hugs from my dad, and in delicious Greek food.
