Did you know that if you desire joy in your life and you postpone that joy it can actually have serious side-affects? Desire can be a tremendous motivator, like a beautiful bright glow that pulls you in.
Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
*goosebumps*
Think about this and really dwell on your deepest desires and resolve to set up a plan in order to achieve joy. It might be a "thing" or a "switch" in your life to bring about -- "goosebumps" or some sort of fire within, waiting to be released.
Last night I had the "joy" of meeting not one but two wonderfully creative women for dinner in New York City. We shared a lovely pot of Fondue! We agreed that our creativity is everything to do with desiring joy.
Desire Joy today~

Oh I love this, thanks for the inspiration. I just read this quote from Joan Didion, "Every day is all there is." So true! This week I will use our wedding china for a just-the-two-of-us meal and invite friends over for a "school-night" dinner and not worry about whether or not I can pull it off after a day at the office.
hello dearest patricia
you are so right. and i loved joan dideon's quote, all so true. one must seize the moment, seek what you know what will bring joy and fulfill dreams. not always easy.
my recent post is my going, again, to seize my dream; hand rendering. so when i went to your friends blog what is there? hand rendering! amazing....sometimes our paths are so brightly lit one must follow

Thank you for the reminder: "Got Joy?"it is such a powerful feeling. I associate it with babies and wonderful meals with my family.
Best,

I try and sing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" aloud, every day when I open my eyes. Helps to set the tone of the day :)
