Joy of Life

Trying to beautify the place you are in, shows your joy of life. 

Joy of life does not pour as rain. You have to cultivate it in yourself. Yes, that means effort.

Today we worked on the backyard, added top soil, removed weeds, raked leaves and moss. 

I am hoping to get some flower arrangements in some pots to decorate the deck. 

It is easy to give up, stay down, and just let things go. It requires effort to stand up, fill buckets with soil, add plants or seeds.

But the reward is bigger. Once: you feel healthier with more outside time, energy spent and increased productivity. 

Second, the plants and flowers beautify your landscape and give you joy of life in return 🌷🌻🌺 

Examine the blooming flowers in the super dry looking stems, how come they made it out? How come they are green? How come there is even a flower? 

Third if you planted fruits and vegetables, you have fresh things to add to your table 😇

What are some ways that help you feel accomplished at home? Tidying up your desk? Laundry? Dishes?
