The word that was with me when I awoke this morning was rejoice. Something lovely about it – makes me think of ‘renewable joy’…the abundant-ness, the contagion of it. Sent me right to a place of gratitude – for the wonderful man sleeping next to me, the warmth of the home we are blessed to share, my health, my family, my friends, my work…
The first thing I did when I got up was get outside for a morning run – at 8:30am it was already pushing 80. The joy followed me…the flock of birds shimmering in the morning sun flying as one from the ground up into the trees, the colorful display of pots and flowers lining someone’s driveway, the gentle breeze blowing from the south cooling my skin…
It’s going to be a joy-FULL day!
What will you do to bring joy into your day?
This Abundantly Delicious Life 
Good for you to run this morning. (Guilt washing over me)
It’s always a great way to start the day…when I can do it. I love the stories you tell when you get out there and hit the pavement!
You can’t share stories if you (meaning me) don’t run! 😃
I am joyfully editing my book – and I mean that with all my heart. It is a joyful, rewarding process. IT’s also too much sitting, and I’m headed out into the heat for a bike ride. Thanks for the reminder take my joy with me! Loved hearing about your morning.
Hope your walks were joy-FULL and that there are more today!
I will going on a big walk today and will find great joy in that Vicki! Nature is joy. 🙂
Nature does have a way of bringing alive inner joy, doesn’t it. I hope your walk was abundantly delicious!
What a wonderful start to your day Vicki! Thank you for the inspiration 💛
Yes, I love it when the day grabs me with joy versus me needed to grab it!
Vicki sounds like the perfect start to a wonderful day. Today I was joyful to be working on my picture book illustration drafts, we all need time to play with our dreams.
Yes, indeed…love your intentional use of play…that’s what it feels like when we are leaning into our dreams, doesn’t it?
