Find the Joy in Every Day

Recently in a meditation at the Saint Louis Basilica, these words came to me: “Find the joy in every day.”

Already today I have found joy. First, in folding the sheets—a simple, ordinary task; then, on a hike when my husband pointed out to me a century plant, blooming red.

“Find the joy in every day”is now my mantra. The joy is there. My job is to see it and to pay attention when others point it out.

You write it: Where do you find joy?
