Embrace the Joy of Each Day

I was Facebook messaging with a high school classmate on Christmas.  She is in poor health, and is not getting better.  Listening to her, I was reminded how easy it is for the challenges we face in life, to overshadow the joys of each day.  Even on our darkest days, there can be little pleasures, small joys, ironic humor, moments of tenderness and love. I reminded her of this, she has a loving family, is able to touch the lives of others, the simple joys need to overwhelm the burden of her days.  

Find joy in your day.
