Good morning my DU family, [View all]

What does joy look like to each of us?
How do we get through each day and how do we experience what we face?

I know for me personally, joy comes in small doses usually, a cute thing here, a moment if pride for a job well done, the cats of course and all they offer every day, and then all the wonderful surprises that jump in front of me every day if I'm open to them.

Please give us a day filled with joy, and opportunities to find it where it lies, and please let that joy bless us with moments of peace, reflection, gratitude and hope.
Have a beautiful day,
Love, John
