I hope whatever you are doing, where ever you are... you are experiencing some JOY this time of year.
With talk of cancelling Christmas, again - it sure doesn't seem so joyful lately.
It's easy to get caught up in Christmas anyway, over spending & over indulgence that will only add to a stressful start to 2022 as If it's not already stressful enough. Covid is causing many to behave in ways that we might not & be moodier' than usual' I get it, I'm trying not to get caught up in the season sensations. Trying.
Time to Focus on JOY, for me it can be as simple as snuggling with my pets and a good book.
Reaching out to a friend I haven't spoke to in a while. Creating some art, cooking a meal or baking..
I feel JOY just remembering I have the gift of another day. How about you?
What brings you joy?
Either way, I remind myself not to be too hard on myself when I slip up - and I do.
When I feel far from Joyful... it's part of being normal I believe, at a time when not much 'feels' normal.
I hope this painting brightened you day - perhaps brought a bit of joy.
