Choosing Joy – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

During this time of the year, you hear a lot about the word, “Joy.” Joy is something that I strive to have every day. There are days when I do not feel joyful, and it is a conscious decision to have joy. On the hard days, I look for the blessings that I have. This helps me reverse how I feel on the hard days. I know you can relate to the days when something breaks or multiple things break. It is hard to choose joy. When our bathroom pipe burst a few years ago, it was hard to see the joy at first. We had the floor in 5 rooms damaged. The clean up and replacement process were difficult. But we ended up with enough money from our home owner’s insurance to replace all of the flooring and replaced damaged drywall and repaint. We ended up with a home improvement project that turned out really nice. At first, it was hard to find the blessings, but I realized that we were ok. The house could be fixed back and look even better than it did.

When I am having a hard day, I think back to the basics and what I am thankful for. This always changes my perspective and helps me choose joy.
