Choosing joy!

Paul was reminding me yesterday - that joy is a choice. I can choose to be miserable and focus on all the things which are wrong or I can focus on my many blessings. How easy it is to be drawn into moaning and groaning especially when life is hard or when you feel unwell. But joy is a choice. 

So today I choose to find joy in.....

• the beautiful sunshine 
• the golden leaves
• my family
• my pussy cat
• my warm home
• my wonderful friends
• pilates
• being loved by the creator of the world
• strictly
• twinkly lights
• frothy coffee
• peace that passes all understanding 
• Soggy the cat (new books Paul has bought me based in St Ives) 
• soft hand cream
• bulb planting for winter colour 
• Downton
• The Great British Bake Off 
• Books 
• my patchwork quilt Chloe made me 
• photos of holidays 
• House 

So many wonderful things. When you focus on joy even when life is hard everything feels better. I wonder what your lists would look like? Do let me know.
