Serene Sunday Morning! Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in My Heart! Rockwall Tx.

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Properties

Did you find your joy this week?  Did you actually look for your joy?  I can find joy each day and the more I look, the more I find to be joyful about and I can feel my energy level climbing.  I found myself singing in the car yesterday a song that my Granddaughter and I used to sing when we were in the car alone after going to Church.  We would sing loudly and then start shouting out all the great things we had to be joyful about.  That set the tone for the day.  Those were the days, joyful memories!

There has been one consistent thing this week in Rockwall County.  We have had an ever changing masterpiece displayed across the sky ever day.  Stunning cobalt blue skies and dancing white fluffy clouds!  Driving down the road I constantly wanted to stop to take pictures or enjoy the moment, but the rest of the world seems to be in a hurry.  I think I am the only one enjoying these magnificent displays.  No one else seems to be giving a second glance.  

There is something serene and peaceful about early Sunday mornings and no other day ever comes close to that Sunday morning feeling.  I am writing this before daylight so I don't know what the sky over Rockwall will be or what the day will bring but I am hoping for more of those splendid skies.  Whatever happens, there will be joy to be found.

I look for joy in every day and am especially thankful for all the joy I found this week.  Here is a few random joyful moments I experienced this week.  I timed myself and thought of as many joyful happenings as I could in three minutes.  Wonder what my list would have looked like had I thought for an hour or more?  

Here's my three minute random joyful memories of this week.  What are some of the joyful moments you experienced!

  • Bright blue skies and white puffy clouds to welcome me each morning driving to work.
  • The American Flag gently moving in the early morning breeze when I arrived at my office each day.
  • My family members who all have good health, jobs or go to school - we are all blessed AND they all love ME!
  • One new pending sale with a quick close coming up.
  • Three new qualified clients.
  • A special dinner with my granddaughter & her new hubby in their new home.
  • Unexpected call from an old friend.
  • Good showings on my listings.
  • Lost weight - :-)
  • Referral from a friend
  • Dinner with my daughter and sister and great private one-on-one time spent with daughter while we were driving to and from my sister's. 
  • Vivid sunsets.
  • Passed 500,000 ActiveRain Points, featured post/gold star, and awesome heartfelt comments from ActiveRain friends!

WOW!  Three minutes and I thought of these joyful happenings this week.  It took me longer than that to get the computer up and running and ready to write my post.

Best wishes for a joyful Sunday and good luck in finding joy everyday.  I guarantee, if you look, you will find it!  There is nothing more energizing than allowing yourself be open to great surges of joy.

Excellent post.  All of us should be looking for joy in our daily lives.

Our highlight of last week was spending Friday at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.  The flowers were beautiful!

Have a most productive week with your camera in hand.

David - thank you.  It is sad but many people do not realize they could enjoy great joy in their life if they would only look for that joy.

Dorie - I am glad you had a joyful week also.  Allowing ourselves to  know and feel joy in the small things as well as the large things in our days results in an unbelievable feeling of well being and provides energy to cope with the difficult things.

Larry & Sheila - thanks and best wishes for a joyful day in your Long Island neighborhood.

 Ginny - thank you.  Yes hitting the 500,000 point marker was an incredible feeling due in large part to the support and friends from ActiveRain friends.  Enjoy your day!

Debbie - thanks.  Few know joy unless they look or it. 

Roy -   I am not surprised to hear that you found joy in something to do with your camera and flowers!  Have a great Sunday!

Hi Barbara.  Enjoying what we have instead of complaining about what we don't is the right way to live.
