Doing one concrete thing on my to-do list for the day.
Finding something hopeful to share on the blog.
Playing in my art room.
Reading
Listening to music – I have an MP3 player, plus I listen to my favorites list on YouTube
Learning something new on YouTube, such as a demonstration of an art technique
Singing (I do this outside while I’m walking around our yard. I used to play the guitar a bit, enough to accompany myself back in the dark ages of folk music. I gave my guitar to our son years ago. I only croak to myself now.)
Playing with Amber (our 95 pound yellow lab) – I’m trying to teach her ‘throw and bring back.’ She prefers ‘tug-o-war’ and run around the yard in a victory lap, shaking the toy.
Feeling good about doing my exercises and putting a gold star on my desk calendar when I’ve finished my elliptical trainer and my yoga stretches for the day.
Consciously mentally listing good things in my life
Life these days is challenging on a whole lot of different levels. If we really try, we can help each other find the joy.
