define joy...

central california coast, march 2012

songs/lyrics i've had in my head for days:

~safety dance lyrics....and if they don't dance, well they're no friends on mine....
~we built this city on rock annndd roooollll...oooooohhhhhh

DEFINE JOY:

• sand, ocean, waves, water....any shoreline i can walk on
• sunshine.  sunshine. sunshine.
• smooth pebbles i can hold in my hands
• summer time!!
• a juicy ripe peach
• green lush open fields that i can run through or at least imagine i am running through
• road trips with the windows rolled down
• laughing until my stomach hurts
• barefeet
• the exhilaration and the moments before you leap into cold water
• building and tending a fire outside at night
• impromptu dancing with friends...or by myself for that matter
• the unexpected funny texts i get from dear friends
• road trip playlists/music
• feeling the sun on my face
• waking up with the sun
• seeing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds all gathered around flowers i plant

JOY is in the little things....that really aren't little at all. :)

how do YOU define joy?
