The other day, as I was driving to work, I was thinking about how many things I have in my life to be grateful for. A loving husband. A beautiful daughter. Family and friends that love me. A God who provides and blesses my life each day. And my list goes on and on. Because there is so much to be thankful for. All things big and small.

And, as I was driving, I decided I needed to find away to express my JOY each day. To take time to be grateful! Find time to really be thankful. Because in this busy life of being a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a employee, I lose me. I take for granted the little things, because I get caught simply going through the motions. And I don’t appreciate the beauty that surrounds me in the little moments of each day.

So in an effort to be more present. To be more grateful. To be purposefully thankful.  To be a better version of ME. I am committing to 365 Days of Joy. That is finding one thing each day, for 365 days, to be grateful for, thankful for, and JOYFUL about.

In this blog I will share my JOY with anyone who cares to follow or needs a little inspiration or a reminder of where we can find JOY in our everyday lives. Some days the blog may be a simple photo with a caption. Other days a longer post because I feel inspired to share. Some days will be more JOYFUL than others. And some days I may have to search for the JOY of that day, because some days are just plan hard! But I look forward to this challenge. And hope at the end of day 365 I will have renewed sense of JOY. A more grateful heart. And more thankful spirit.
