Find out where joy resides,
and give it a voice
far beyond singing.
For to miss the joy is to miss all.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
To miss the JOY is to miss all.
I use Instagram to document those things that bring me joy… and around the end of each year, our family gathers to draw/color/write a “plate” to highlight all the joys, peaks and valleys of the past year. We’ve been doing this for 18 years. (Click here to see our “plate” experience!)
Somewhere, sometime, a long time ago, I heard a person say, “If your life is worth living, it’s worth documenting.” I don’t remember who said it, but it’s remained a cautionary statement.
However, before you can document your joys – those happenings which cause JOY – you need to notice them. Perhaps that’s why I find the above quote by Robert Louis Stevenson particularly poignant…
In what way
(or ways)
are you taking action
to notice and capture the joy in your life?
