The Joy That Is This Life

Basking in the Sunshine
Raising my children has been my life's greatest joy. One reason is because I get to experience the world through their eyes. The simplicity of their love. Their joie de vivre. The way that they take pleasure in nature and people, it is astounding and I am here for the lessons.

This photo of my sun basking in the sunshine is one of my favorites because it captures the pure joy that he is experiencing in the moment. He is outside. He is at the playground and life is good! May we all experience this type of joy this week. If you do, give thanks. After all, this is the season of thanksgiving.
