Day 4: The 30ish Days of Joy Challenge

Day 4 was much harder than the first 3.  When everything could have been wonderful it wasn't. Around 10:00 AM I thought all hope was lost for me to find joy as the kids were difficult and arguing. Around 1:15 our neighbours were leaving, they came over to play around 10:30, and Ellie was sad then I heard their youngest say to her "Don't worry Ellie, our moms are friends now so we can play anytime together".  This gave me reason to pause. This is joy. Joy is living making friendships with those around you! Joy is unexpected lunch dates. Joy is unexpected run-ins with "friends" at a local coffee shop. Joy is pool parties and BBQ's with friends. Joy is making new friends and valuing the ones you already have!!! Day 4, you tried to get me but I won!!! I found joy!!!
