funny this is the topic for the day. (dude with all the bacteria and crazy chemical compounds in our garbage... some crazy garbage monster is going to evolve i bet you... like about the time plastic starts to bio degrade. ah hahahaha crazy dude!! ~ sorry, an aposiopesis before we even start)
my love tyler woke me up to his loud music and this amazing idea about how we're going to get me out of my drab office and out to play with kids all day long instead. my heart about melted with love for him and the idea and it's beauty.
i fully beleive the most effective way to create more joy around you is to create more joy for life. to add color and smiles and friendly places. to play music and spend your days in the sun teaching little children about the world. creating joy is simply taking the time to notice it. children are a great image of this concept because they are sponges for their environment. my little sister jonica is 7 years old. usually she is a very hyper rambunctious joyfull child when she is out and spending the day with me. but lately, since my mom has been sick and having relationships issues with my sister's father, i notice jonica's attitude has shifted to a more melancholy and quiet. She's absorbing my mother's feelings and reflecting them in herself. This is because right now my mom is failing to notice the joy in life and as a result she does not create a joyful environment in her home.
tyler's idea is perfect. just by his thought of bringing joy to my life, i am joyful. i can go to the office feeling joyful. even though finding joy there is tough at times. he's helped me notice the joy in life. the beauty of having the option to turn down another path at anytime we desire is sometimes unseen by us. creating joy is just reminding ourselves to look again and try harder to see the beauty, not just in having options but in everything. in the colors of the earth and the technology of our lives. our egos have us so preoccupied with perfection we fail to notice the real beauty of imperfection. i see the term individuality as a euphamism for imperfection. i find joy in my crooked teeth because i can make cool bite marks on things and draw pictures.
