thoughtful thursday

it's been a very busy day but there was time to partake of a st patrick's day celebration at the club i belong to.  the time was shared with two others.  we passed out crocheted shamrocks made by my mother and everyone was thrilled to receive these;  the shamrocks were pinned on right away.  it was a festive occasion with chatter, laughter, a tasty corned beef and cabbage dinner.  with everyone wearing green, it seemed to be greener inside than outside!

festive translates into joy.  joy is something that is needed to be experienced everyday if possible.  whether the joy results from a special occasion like today's st patrick's celebration or a simple, quiet joy like smiling at the birds feeding outside the window, life is so much more pleasant, calmer and resilient when joy is found and experienced.  joy is needed.  be open to the joy in your life.  joy is whimsey.
