"Take in as much joy as you can whenever and however you can.  You may find it in unexpected places."  - Letting Go,  Morrie Schwartz

I was going to blog goings-on lately.  There have been many to choose from. Just… didn't.   Instead I played with pictures. It is a major joy-bringer. I did a random book pull from my favorites shelf and opened to this line.  It reminded me why I bought the book years ago and how similar the messages in my home library are, despite the fact the authors are so very different. Morrie goes on:

"You can find joy in practically any situation if you are open to the experience of happiness. Even a mundane task such as washing dishes can be an occasion of pleasure if you let yourself marvel at the colors of the soapsuds or let the sight of a plate remind you of the last holiday you spent with family or friends. Whatever your activity, do it with care and consideration and awareness. If you focus on doing the best that you can under the circumstances without making yourself anxious or nervous about it you might find that what you are doing becomes a source of enjoyment and pleasure rather than just a chore."

Take in joy, however unexpected it may be.
