” If you are joyful, it will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like a sun in a community.” ~ Mother Teresa
How’s your joy barometer these days?
Thank you for the reminder Teri. I woke up this morning kind of ‘foggy’ and not at all joyful. I then discovered your “Joy” message and was able to shake off the mediocrity I was feeling.

I start each day with a gratitude and I end each day with another – it’s amazing how joy comes easily when you are thankful throughout the day. Many days my gratitude is the same- I am thankful my for the sacrifices my husband has made to keep me home educating full time and I am thankfull for the home we live in that affords us a location for our awesome school. Joy is also easy to spread… here- have some of mine!
