Seeking Joy

At the beginning of each of the past few years, I have chosen a word to guide me through that year.  Past years words were Hope, Journey, and Believe.  This year, the word that kept creeping into my conscious was JOY.  As in the past, I continually heard and saw the word Joy.  So this year I am going to seek and share joy.

I encourage others to find a word that can be their prevailing word of guidance for this year ahead.  With each day we have an opportunity to set aside the day before and mentally direct ourselves toward a fresh day.  This year I will seek joy in each day.  Of course that may be a challenge on some days.  No one can be joyful every minute of every day.  Life happens.  But we can seek joy in the little things around us.  We can find the joy in the lesson learned.  We can observe joy on the faces of others.

As you set your goals for 2018, include a word of inspiration and guidance.  Let it give you the motivation to stay on track and see where it leads you.  And as you journey through 2018, I hope you seek and find JOY!

May your path lead you to joyful destinations in 2018!
