Remember your joy(your why).

I enjoy my job.

I enjoy telling jokes. Especially corny ones.

It brings me joy.

I spend my workday, howling, falling out of my seat, yukking it up with this one and that.

Joyful.

Joyous.

Yiippppppeeeee!

Or, I did. Here lately, I have had to scrape my way around work. Yea, eventually I would talk myself into my joke telling. After a bit, I would smile, deep inside. Eventually, I would forget about hard and laugh for the rest of the day.

Yesterday, I REMEMBERED that I took joy, in my job. I REMEMBERED. In remembering, my heart began to rejoice. Causing me to stop focusing on the hard. I focused, on the joy. I remembered how much fun work was.

It is something how shifting perspective can change the entirety of the day. Wow. Who knew?

Joy, renewed, these past few days have flown by. Simply flown! I had been dragging myself around. Tired. Exhausted. Tired of being exhausted. Now, today, having remembered joy, I find myself:

Renewed.

Joyful.

Hopeful.

Yet, again.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooo thankful that we get to CHOOSE joy, beloveds, whenever we choose. We do NOT have to wait on circumstances, to change. We do NOT have to wait on others, to change. We do NOT have to wait, for someone(s), to change us.

All we have to do is to remember our joy, remember our why.

WHY, beloveds, do you do what you do? Remember how much joy it used to bring to you? You CAN renew your joy, whenever you wish. How fantastic is that??!

You all are my why, beloveds. I remembered you. Remembered how much joy it brings me encouraging folk, on the daily. I remembered how much I rejoiced over stupid/dumb things I could share that perhaps may could bring a smile, to your face. I remembered each and every one of you, beloveds, and joyously thought of a ridiculous joke I could share. Like this one:

Rose are Red.

Sand is whatever color it chooses to be.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

How ridiculous was that?! It DID make you smile, though, right? If not, I shall think of another:

Knock knock.

Whose there?

How the world should I know?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

OMG!!

Be encouraged.

Life is short.

Remember your joy(your why).

remembering my why,

Cassandra
