Finding Joy Amid the Crisis our World Faces

What a joy to feel the sunshine

What a joy to see the beautiful flowers blooming in my garden

What a joy to speak to my loved ones every day

What a joy to know that we are as safe as we can be

What a joy to come to this place and contact those around the world that I love

What a joy to have lived a life so full and bursting with treasures

What a joy to recall the memories of a happy and safe childhood

What a joy to have been loved and to love


In this difficult time in all our lives, remember there are treasures and memories in all of our lives and we can pull them up at any time; remind those around you of the smell of a newborn, the touch of a child's hand wrapped around your finger, the times of gathering together and the laughter you have shared, be a joy in your world

Our senses are a gift and using them is precious so smell the air around you, watch the sunrise, hear the laughter of a child, taste the food someone has lovingly prepared for you, and touch those you love with a heart bursting with joy and appreciation for all that we can do, not concentrating on what we can't.

So be a blessing in whatever way you can, be thoughtful and kind, and remember  .......... this time will pass so spend it in a way that makes treasured memories for yourself and those you love.



This is to help you find joy and laugh ..... 
first at me then find something about yourself to laugh at!
