Joy In The Morning




I know there is a bible verse that says, joy comes in the morning, but quoting scripture escapes me at this time. So much like the rest of my life, I remember "parts of" things.
One morning, this week, I was washing a few dishes and looked out into our porch. There was Lucy the lab, and crazy Diana, our cat having a tranquil, summer morning. I needed my camera, and quickly. Our animals, do not enjoy a good photo op. This morning I was lucky, they did not move. Early morning sounds and smells, had lulled them into being sweet to each other. I had a Kodak moment and it shaped the rest of my day.
To me, finding joy in the simple things, creates big joys.
Life is hard, and you have to recognize the joys, when they appear.
National Geographic will not be contacting me for my animal photos, but look at these angels!!!
We three stayed on the porch, for a spell, it was summer at its finest.
Mark Twain said, " To get the full value of joy, You must have someone to divide it with."
So I'm passing it on.
