How do you like to create joy in your life?

If your world is anything like mine, sometimes the days are so busy that it takes conscious thought to make time for life’s most delightful moments.

For me, in any one week I’m abundantly happy when I’ve enjoyed all of these experiences –

time connecting with my 3 men (husband and 2 sons), other family, and friends
lots of laughter
absorbing nature and getting some exercise with hikes and bike rides
contributing to an important cause, usually with a focus on children, women, or art
feeling that I’ve advanced in life in some meaningful way (relationships, health, career)
painting, of course!
remembering to be full of thanks, wonder and awe for all of the above

What makes you happy?
