It’s my year of joy! My year of peace in 2018 has led to my year of joy in 2019! What I have discovered is that having joy is an attitude, a perception. Even in the hard times, when things don’t go right- there is still joy to be found. I had a day this week that was FRUSTRATING, and that’s okay, it’s okay to feel frustrated. BUT it’s sooo important to still recognize the joy- because there is ALWAYS joy.
“When you focus on the good, the good gets better”
~Abraham Hicks
So what do you do when a day goes whack-a-doodle? Because let’s face it, that’s part of life~ things go wrong, plans change, life does not always cooperate with our schedule. How I have learned to deal with this is #1. Recognize the frustration, it’s okay to feel whatever you are feeling, but #2. ALSO recognize those things that went right and something positive that happened. When you look for the good, the good becomes so much more obvious. For example- on my day when nothing seemed to go right, I ended up being able to snuggle up on the couch with my son and my puppy and watch 2 episodes of Parks and Rec (our current binging show). If my day would have gone as planned, I wouldn’t have had that experience. So while I can recognize a frustration, more importantly I can focus on the positive that happened.

Recent joyful moments:
My journey to finding joy is going to be tested over the next couple of months. If you have been reading my blog, you may have noticed over the last year I have talked about an injury to what I thought was my left hip. Come to find out it is a partial detachment/tear of my hamstring. Unfortunately that means surgery and crutches/non-weight bearing for several weeks. This was NOT in my plan for this year!! First of all I HATE asking for/needing help, I don’t like to sit and am a very active person. This will be quite a journey physically and emotionally and I would be lying if I tried to act like I wasn’t completely terrified, but there is already joy in this experience. My co-workers have lined up bringing me 2 meals a week. I have a wonderful fiancé, kids, family, friends, and co-workers that are so gracious and loving, who have offered to help with anything I need. Honestly, it’s so hard for me to accept help as I am naturally a care taker and nurturer. I am used to being the one who helps, not the one needing help. But this will be such a lesson for me. Appreciation, love, support, joy are all words that are already filling my heart.
So I need ideas- if you have good book recommendations, workouts that don’t require lower body movements. fun projects to do while sitting, or any other ideas, PLEASE let me know! I am trying to get some things ready and lined up!!
Looking forward to my year of JOY! Thanks for stopping by!
