Hello!
Cool October days inspire me to begin thinking of the holidays and my favorite end of the year rituals -- one being this blog!
I'm thinking about the theme for 2015, and the word that keeps finding its way into my thoughts is "JOY."
I've recently been reading Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. In this book, she offers one key question to ask about all of the items in your life: Does it spark joy?
I have found myself asking this question about everything now -- not just things, but experiences, places, people...Does this spark joy right now? Does this person spark joy? Does this activity spark joy?
I also think this year I'll add a new twist of pictures -- mostly those taken my beloved Matt. He has so many amazing gifts -- one of them is capturing moments. So many of his pictures spark joy for me.
What sparks joy for you? I would love to hear about it.
Advent starts on Sunday, November 29th (our 19th wedding anniversary!). Hope to see you again then!
