a blog of joy

about this blog

everyday joys abound. it's a matter of perspective. for every trial there is a joy. for every loss there is a gain. finding the benefits to typical challenges brings to focus the beauty of daily life. it's as simple as keeping what i call a joy journal, jotting down the small gifts of being alive. the scent of a fresh breeze. the handshake of a friend. sounds and sights. aromas and textures. life is a grand blessing, but it's one that is carefully made of tiny and simple joys. just like a mural, it's pieced together stroke by stroke with the light and dark elements living together (one is never found without the other). This blog inspires us to open our eyes and hearts to these tiny but tangible building blocks that can create a world of celebration... and a life of possibilities.

Why is beauty so important?
Because we derive energy and motivation from beautiful sights, beautiful sounds, beautiful words and ideas, and beautiful environments.
