Today was mostly a chore and errand day....and I was mindful about having a good attitude all day long. I remember hearing one time that rather than thinking I have to do something....your mood will shift if you think I get to do this. Having a good attitude makes joy possible.....even when doing tedious paperwork or standing in line at a store.
I can't write about joy this week without celebrating our regular guests for happy hour. No matter how busy a day is...Paul and I continue to pause at 4:00 and gather for for conversation....a game of cribbage....or just to sit quietly and enjoy the Christmas lights. And recently.....and almost without fail...a flock of doves gather at the birdbath by 4:10....and a doe or two wander through the backyard foraging for food.
We move the bath near the patio in the winter and add a little heater and we have regular birds including bluebirds all winter long.
A positive attitude....and regular happy hour guests = Joy!
Your pausing together at 400p sounds wonderful—you and Paul have a good thing going on! Clearly, the vibes are powerful and positive as evidenced by your regularly drawing guests to your sphere of quiet joyful energy.
