What turns my crank? What makes me smile? Pieces of joy all around me. My azaleas blooming a second time. Finding the stock I was looking for, after 5 hours of searching. Hearing from my famly. Watching 2 furry tailed backyard creatures doing their mating dance…where he is chasing her, she flips her tail and leaps to another branch while he leaps to thin air. My cranberry relish turned out ok. The smell of a ripe cantaloupe. We have eyes to see with but do we really look? A thousand little joys far surpass one big joy for me.

This is so heart warming! I love it!
Elissa , how beautiful were your words . I see the word JOY as Just Observe Yourself. When you look within and see your own true beauty then you can look outwards and see and truly feel the beauty that’s all around us . Thank you xx
