What Brings Me Joy

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

Hugging people. My husband. My daughter. My granddaughter. All my other children and grandchildren. My friends. A stranger. It’s such a simple act but it makes all the joy bubbles rise to the surface.

The funny thing about this is that I never was a very touchy-feely person. But now I know I was missing something very special. Something that brings joy to someone else as well.

Hugging and kissing babies brings great joy as well. Feeling a child’s joy makes my joy even greater.

And cuddling with a baby sleeping on my shoulder makes life worth living. It takes away all life’s pressures.

This is not to say that I don’t find joy in many things. But this is one of the many and it’s simple. Give someone a hug today!

In 2015, I retired and set out to do as much traveling as I could. I started the blog on our first, month-long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and me on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity for it. So here we are. I invite you to join the fouramigos blog on our next destination.
