Last Sunday our pastor talked about finding joy. I have been thinking about the last time I let loose with unrestrained joy. Even as a child, I was pretty serious. What I can say for sure, though is that joy for me would not be possible without my friends. They allow me to be ridiculously dorky. I am more afraid of my family judging me than my friends.
Probably some of my most joyous occasions were the births of my children. I felt like "wow, I can't believe this is happening to me."
My task this week is to do something truly joyous. This is a most difficult task. I'm very happy, but joy seems to be something different. It seems like something unplanned for; a gift, perhaps. I think the only thing I can do is to try to set up the conditions where it is possible for joy to happen. If something should happen this week or sometime in the near future, I will post it.
