The Joy Treasure

Do youFind Your Joy Treasure have joy in your life?

Or are you so busy searching for something that life is flying past you quicker than you realize?

Now, I’m not talking about being happy based on your external circumstances or relationships. I’m talking about that internal joy and peace that seems to radiate from those who have it. I’m sure you know someone who seems to always have a joy about them, no matter what is going on around them or to them. You know who I mean. That person who can still find reasons to smile, even when everything is falling apart around them.

They have found it! They found their joy treasure.

In every day things, the little things and even the mundane, you can find joy. From the smile of your child to watching the sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee. Maybe its the feeling of freshly washed laundry or a clean kitchen. If you take the time to appreciate all you have right now, you will find a little bit of joy.

Appreciation seems to be a trait that is fading along with so many other important characteristics. Appreciate what you have. Be grateful for your many blessings. In each of those little blessings, you can find a bit of joy. That, right there! That is your joy treasure. And in the simple act of appreciating what you have, you find a little joy as well. Value it. Nurture it. Each day you have your treasure, be thankful!

What is your Joy Treasure?
