I choose JOY!

In every situation.
In every relationship.
In every ordinary moment.
It’s one of the cornerstones of happiness.
Such a simple choice to make and yet happiness still eludes so many people.
As we fly headlong into another new year 
I need to remind myself to focus on that joy.
Practise an attitude of gratitude and joy will flow.
I’m a happy person by nature, 
a ‘glass half full’ kinda girl.
Even on the dull days, MYdays are bright and interaction with others is always sparkly.
I bubble.
This is a good thing.
MOST of the time.
My JOY is found in the simplest of things.
Walking EVERY day
It’s my daily dose of Vitamin D and fresh air. 
If you don’t have a hound to add humour to the equation, 
beg, borrow or steal one!
Being HAPPY with WHAT I have
and WHERE I am
You can be happy anywhere if you CHOOSE to be.
It’s all about GROWING where you’re PLANTED.
BREATHING it all in and LOVING it all out
I try. I really DO.
But some people turn NOT loving them into an ART form!
Making a BOLD mark, NOT a dull impression
Letting it GO
Period.
CHANGING my words. 
CHANGING my mindset
This makes my head spin and my mind salivate.
It’s so easy to fall into the trap of negativity by the very words we use to communicate. 
ALWAYS doing my best
As both a night owl AND an early riser, 
my ‘best’ changes moment to moment. 
Being my AUTHENTIC self
If I’m true to me then I have no competition.
NO ONE can do ME, like me!
Authenticity acts as a magnet for the right kind of everything in my life.
LOOKING for the beautiful in every day
Beautiful days are NOT the exception any more.
They’re the rule.
So there you have it.
The WOW's in my day that help me FIND joy!

Changing the world one ramble at a time.

“Sometimes things must change so you can change.
Sometimes mistakes happen so wisdom can be earned.
Sometimes you must overcome heartache so you can follow your heart.
 Sometimes you must break a little so you can peek inside yourself 
and see how great you really are.” 
~ unknown
You can tell it’s the height of summer when you walk through the Dell.
It’s awash with cicadas
Thousands of them.
Singing a love song as only they know how.
Their clickety clack chatter drowns out the activity of anyone.
Human or otherwise.
It’s anything BUT tranquil but I love it.


Rambles put my world to rights.
Yes.  My eyes often leak.  
Yes.  My heart frequently aches
Yes.  My soul is cracked and fragile. 
BUT
there is ALWAYS something 
on a ramble to find joy in.
Whether it be Teddy Bears in trees
A Teddy Bears Picnic and Treasure Hunt in the Dell.
or hounds on the beach
JOY is out there in abundance if we have eyes to see it.
I love this little spot in the world that I now inhabit.
I love my little space in The Flat @ No. 14
I love the people that are in my life.


Finally, a little Wagtail ... need to get closer though!
There is no certainty in life
that what I’m doing and the choices 
I’m making are the right ones.
But that doesn’t matter
What I’m doing NOW 
is making me happy.
I’m changing MY world 
one ramble at a time.
And THAT is all that matters.
"People grow when they are loved well. 
If you want to help others heal
love them without an agenda."
