This morning I was pondering how truly interconnected health and joy are....whether we need to feel physically good to be joyful or can we find joy in the littlest things as long as we are conscious enough to search.
I know that there are different points of view on this topic, but I would like to think that you can always find some joy. I learned to truly find joy in the last ten years....when I had to reinvent my life. During this process, I learned that joy can come from the smallest accomplishments or contributions...whether it was making myself laugh at least once a day or sending someone a nice note to let them know that you were thinking of them. Sometimes I think that I, like most people, get too caught up in health sides of things. You know the normal questions that woman ponder (or obsess, depending on who you are)....
Am I the right size? Do I eat the right foods? Do I put the right things in my body? Am I conscious enough to notice that my body isn't working right? Or am I satisfied with just surviving vs thriving? And what would it take for me to thrive...being healthy and joyful? And will I ever know the answers?
I am starting to be convinced that I will never know the answers, but I believe it is more important to know the questions and be able to ponder. Pondering keeps me going and keeps me smiling....what else would I do on the train when I'm not obsessing about work/home and if my outfit looks good....
Have a great day and don't forget to ponder just a little....and find a smile
