Joy

So much for my daily discipline. My morning reflection simply does not occur in from of the computer... so I guess a copy/paste will have to do.

Day 51: Identify & savor thinking about a source of joy in your present life.

Day 52: Take a few minutes and list as many things as you can that delight you.

Day 53: (today) look back at your life and bring to mind a specific memory of joy... consider the following: What solace, guidance, or possibility does this memory offer you today?

Clearly the theme of the week is joy. A present joy is listening to the dawn chorus as I take out the bird feeders each morning. The list of delights would include all the different birds I can hear and the hope of seeing them. A joyful memory would be spending time with Gramma Mildred out in the garden. Pulling up carrots, hosing thee dirt off and eating them right then and there, still bursting with sunshine & love. My tiny garden is just flowers, but it is her memory that spurs me every time I bother to weed it. Maybe I will do a bit of that today.

And for a laugh I am going to use the ai tool to generate a 'photo' for today. Used a few "styles" - some obvious ai mistakes, but overall not horrible. Still.... not in love with ai "art". I guess another one of the joys I would list would be taking my own photos.
