joyful

from sunshine on saturday to snow on tuesday. i think i may like early morning light the best.  i'm not an early riser. maybe that's why, when i make the effort it feels like a gift. 

at the start of this week i have found small steps are good, especially when trust seems impossible. encouragement is a good thing, especially to those whom you cherish. showing love and care doesn't just change other people, it changes you.

i was so wiped out with stress and illness last week that one of the points on my to-do list at the start of this week was "get your joy back!" i've taken small steps and by tuesday lunchtime realised i was joyful again. an attitude change was required. remembering to be childlike helped too. then not only did i rediscover my joy but my hope in faith too.
