5 Things That Bring Joy

Family brings joy. Even with craziness, arguments, loudness, and sometimes hurt feelings, there is nothing like family to bring out the best in life.

Faith brings joy. Because even when life is a little touch-and-go, God has my back. All I have to do is spend some quiet time in prayer and meditation to bring me back centered.

Nature brings me joy. Walking through a pine forest smelling the sweet aroma of wood and earth. Watching wildlife in their natural environment. Or just calmly sitting with the sun rays flowing through me. Last week I saw a beautiful rainbow.

Snuggling with a precious baby. This is particularly effective when I’m anxious. A baby cuddling its head in the crook of my neck soothes away anxiety and all becomes right with the world.

Dancing and singing like nobody is watching brings great happiness and lots of laughs.

So many things bring me joy and many things bring me back to joy!
