Day 28 late I forgot 🙈 Each day I get is a blessing, each whatsap message of ‘I love you’ is a glorious sun burst, each coffee shared, each chat, walk, call or wave a delicious joy which fills my cup to over flowing. I hope you know you are a joyous being, made to find happiness, to be happy.

Day 27 Paul is home & his joy at what he was doing, who he met, what he learn’t almost uncontrollable. Joy begets joy & leads to magic. Basking in another’s joy, is magic. I hope you get to be in the light of someone’s joy & you get to smile for no other reason than being happy for them.

Day 26 My joy today is blowing in the wind - with a little bit of singing 😉

Day 25 Dancing in the sunshine

Day 24 Just laughing in the rain

Day 23 How brave it is to stand up, to believe in yourself, to stand firm to your guiding North Star. My joy today is the wonder of knowing I am manoeuvring gently & kindly into my life. I hope you get to see all the tiny steps you are taking that are aligning you to you.

Day 22 I have two little bird houses. I was told it takes a couple of seasons before the birds feel safe to use them. Patience my dear ones, I’ve had to learn patience. There is joy in just watching while the process unfolds. Oh how I love being a student in this life of mine.

Day 21 Today I created my own sunshine…I believe wholeheartedly if I can find joy on grey days then my finding joy can only multiple when the sky is blue & the sun shines in the sky & not from a jar!!! I hope you can see how in seeking your joys daily can lift your spirit & fill your heart.

Day 20 - In my wild ever giving garden the beauty of a left over autumn rose. I feel light of heart, I have a renewed sense of purpose…. I truly believe seeking joy brings about the possibility in everything…. could I? should I? would I? oh yes… I could, I should & well, will I!?!

Day 19 Waving, nodding, engaging in weather talk might seem trivial but as I walk today I will say hello, I will nod & I will say ‘at least it’s not raining!!’ My hello might bring joy to another… I know for sure it will make my heart lighter & joy lands beautifully on a light heart.

Day 18 How many opportunities do we pass off because we think too much? What joys slip through my fingers because I fail to be vulnerable to the possibility of the joy itself. Seeking joy makes me think & yes, enforces a joyful way of being.

Day 17 The recognition of self when we are loved, that we are important to someone is joy. It makes me smile when I’m told I am loved. I feel seen & valued. I hope today, on this ‘love day’ you hear the words I love you & it rests gently on your heart

Day 16 The simplest of joys but quite magnificent! Hoping into bed after a shower …into a newly made up bed, fresh sheets, clean pyjamas oh positively delicious! That is a lot of joy for 1 day in this my second week of finding joy. Sometimes the finding of joy …is in the making of joy.

Day 15 I can learn a lot from this little yellow ray of sunshine. On dank days such as these between winter temps & spring light I seek my joys on walks, on drives, in queues, at red lights, in the busyness of being busy… I see, I let joy in & I am bedazzled by the hope of it all.

Day 14 We are at the 1/2 way point of our Finding Joy quest, today I am looking forward & beyond. The beauty I can see when I just tilt my head a little skyward. Lights, colour, pattern… The wonder of being drawn in. Look up, see more, be amazed.

Day 13 - Wrapping my arms around the pieces of my heart, each giving me moments in a 48hr merry go round visit, gifts me a fullness of heart & a soul top up. I feel the energy of their spinning worlds & for those few seconds of hand holding & hugs we get to breathe & pause. Joy overflows.

Day 12 - As I seek joy, she finds me… This joy? Well it came rolling in!!!! Just keep looking, joy will be found x

Day 11- I think this photo says it all! Bob newly groomed & Granny newly quaffed; making a perfect pair … I grabbed my phone & took the photo! It’s just screams let’s be happy. So my joy came floating in … on hairspray & smiles.

Day 10 - I was doing stuff, busy stuff, the huffing & puffing, put off till I had time kinda stuff. I turned around & our Bob, had made his ‘bed’ on my dressing gown (newly washed I may add!!) I smiled, he mooched onto my lap, me & him, sitting on the kitchen floor, letting ‘stuff’ just be.

Day 9: Today I am a wash with light & the thought of brighter, longer days to come feels almost tangible. This thought actually helps future proof joy for me. There is hope in the feeling I have today. I love nestling into hope, it transcends despair & rests easy in my heart.

Day 8 - Today joy did not come easy. Then I stepped into my garden, a place where my wildness meets the structure of estate living. I found this tiny snowdrop, fragile, fully emerged from the ground, held in the sunlight & I allowed joy in. A simple breath, a gentle pause, joy came fully in.

Day 7 Finding & holding the balance of everything. It always seems so easy but tilt too much one way & it all goes topsy turvy! Acknowledging the needs of my body, mind & soul, will gift me balance & this I know will give me peace which is a joy worth finding & holding on tight to.

Day 6- Days like these are truly incredible for my soul. They actually make me giggle. I am wrapped up but exposed. The only sound I can hear is the sea & wind. My mind goes quiet. My heart is fully awake, my eyes fully aware. There is joy in this feeling, of being completely here, right now.

Day 5 - Hearts on hearts- I found this stone of heart carved on heart & it is perfect for this day because 29 years ago I became a mum & my life changed. The poem by Nikita Gill ‘Your Soft Heart’ resonates.

Breathe…

Day 4- Threads - This little leaf holding itself together so gently, permits me to see all the love & loves in my life. The magic of the treads allows me know how love, true love can burst us wide open, to a point of breathlessness, allowing our hearts to feel complete & filled with utter joy.

St. Brigid’s Day

Day 3 of Finding Joy. This is the 1st Agreement from Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements ‘Be impeccable with you word’ The more I practice this …the more conscious I become of the words I hear around me. If I am impeccable with my words I bring joy to me & a more joyous me is a kinder me.

Day 2 -Connections… Today I became aware that my hello maybe the only connection for a stranger, it might lift a heart & it matters. Trees exists side by side,branches touch & weave, strong in their own root system but need others to flourish. There is a kindness in a simple hello & smile. Be kind.
