What Brings You Joy In Life?

by Olivia

So many times I have started writing a list of things to be grateful for, and I have found that once you start writing, you cant stop listing the things that brings you joy. The act itself of starting to think, and acknowledge the good we have in life can be hard to start. Often times we are surrounded by negative things, and bad situations that it clouds out the good we actually have. Whenever I feel like I am going through a hard time, I find it so beneficial to remind myself of the good I have in life. The great people I am surrounded by. The job I have, the life I get to live. Those are the things that matter.

As a blogger I feel like its really part of my job, and part of who I am to remind my audience of these things. Maybe you’re going through a rough time, and you needed a reminder to think of the good you have around you. Maybe I do these posts for me too. To ground myself, and so that I can learn to be grateful for what I have. Sometimes, we both need the reminder.

  9. Whenever I need a reminder I look at the sky. It makes me happy because we can all look the same sky, sun, moon and stars and know we all have that in common. My husband has been making me happy since high school, our kids, family, laughter, nature, life 💜
