What brings you joy? Think about 10
things that bring you joy, list them on a sheet of paper. Select something from
that list to journal about or create a blog post. This was the challenge
presented on Suzanne Lieurance’s blog.
As I was deciding which item from my
list to write about, I thumbed through a current issue of The Writer magazine. There was an article titled Finding Joy in the Process. There was my
answer, clear as day. I would combine two things from my list.
Two things that bring me joy are
helping people and feeling healthy. Have you ever carried out a random act of
kindness? Perhaps you paid the bill for the car the drive-thru behind you, or
simply listened to someone who was having a stressful day.
Think about how it feels when your
feet hit the floor in the morning and you don’t have any aches or pains. No
headache, no stomach ache, and no backache. You are healthy. I heard a radio
personality say, when you have your health, you have wealth.
I have found another avenue of joy it
is in the form of participating in a 5k Race. The race is called Give and Get
Fit and is sponsored by the Rhonda Walker Foundation. If you live in the Detroit
area you may know that Rhonda Walker is a local morning news co-anchor. On July
28th, the 9th Annual Give and Get Fit 5K Race will take
place in Detroit.
Donations to the race support Rhonda’s
initiative - Girls into Women career and
personal development program. Some of the programs under that umbrella include:
Dress for Success,
24-Hour Girl Talk and Camp I Can. You can help by
participating in the Race (walk or run) or stay home and donate. Click here for
more information.
Have you thought about focusing more
on your health and well-being? If it’s more fitness you want in your lift sign
up for the walk. Looking for a fitness studio that will transform your body?

Sometimes little things can bring
great joy. What brings you joy? How can you share your joy?
