JOY IS IN THE SIMPLE THINGS

There were so many things that I hungered after when I was younger. A larger house, a pool, more money, designer clothes.....and when I got them I really didn't find joy. I found I was left with wanting more. As I have gotten older I have found that the simplest things bring me joy. A smile from a stranger, a surprise silly text message from a grandchild, a cup of tea on a cold gray day, and today it is arriving home from the library with a pretty bag stuffed full of books.

Jen at Muddy Boot Dreams has started a Pinterest group and Facebook page for those of us who are looking for and finding joy in the ordinary. I hope you will read more about it here and join us.

Next week I will be talking about my plans for my own ideas for pursuing a simple and serene life. I will also be resuming Women Speak on Tuesday.

For now, I think I will fix myself that soothing cup of tea and choose a favorite book to read.

Have a serene and joyful day, my friends.
