Wait until you see what I stumbled upon on Pinterest today...
It's this blog called www.marcandangel.com and they have some pretty encouraging, but thought provoking trickets all over the place. I found one that was called 40 Photo-Illustrated Questions and I thought I would give some a shot.
Joy.
It's started to hit me that you have to choose joy. And that's so hard to do when there's days you just want to back under the covers. Maybe you're in a fight with your best friend, or you have a hard test at school ahead of you, or you simply want to go ahead and fast forward through this day. I just realized that I've been living those days over and over again, and I'm starting to let those days live me. I know that makes ZERO sense to those not inside the mass chaos that is my mind but stay with me here! Joy is a consious decision you have to make before your feet even hit the floor. It doesn't just plop on your front porch like a newspaper. It must be pursued. It has to be fought for. It has to be purposefully selected. And I am finally making this connection. And here's the best part...
it's working.
"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." -E.E. Cummings

When you finish that stack of books on your bedside table, I have a great one for you to get...Turning Towards Joy.
