Finding joy in the world is hard to do. Headlines scream misery, loss, anger, hate, rejection, and protests. Our nation is screaming against happiness, sunny days, love, warmth, and contentment. Why? Why does everyone seem to be angry and wanting life to be this way?

From this point on I am going to stop. I will make an effort to stop clicking on anything negative and only look at the good. What if we all start making that effort? Can you imagine seeing small snuggly baby animals on your feed, or a field full of flowers with a bright blue sky in the background, or how about a person smiling, or better yet a group of people smiling with pure joy on their faces?

How about hearing a child’s belly laugh, a horses soft nicker as you walk into their field, or the sounds of waves gently breaking on the beach?

Can you close your eyes and feel your dogs soft fur, or the gentle mist of falling rain, how about the cooling sensation of your favorite ice cream as you take the first bite?

Can you picture the joy? Can you feel it and hear it? Joy can be found. We just need to open up our hearts to it.
