Finding Joy

Everyday is filled with chores and tasks we perform by rote. We drive, cook, shop without being present in the moment. Even our children are over scheduled and are unable to find joy that comes with spontaneity.

Each morning I have started to ask my kids what will give them joy today. It might be something simple like a cup of chai tea after school. I think it is important all of us remember we only have one life. Finding joy is an individual quest that should never end and definitely not be forgotten.
