Feb. 10, 2008 - Daily Life
As many of you know, I have another blog www.homeschoolblogger.com/raesfamily where I blog about life's journey and faith. That blog is a series of ponderings about life, about God, and my faith and attitude towards daily life. I love that blog, but I wanted more. So, in addition to that blog, I've decided to blog about daily life, and finding joy in daily living. Sounds easy? Well, I've found it to be challenging, especially in the midst of trials. So, let's run together and see where this new journaling process takes me. I'm excited to see how this blog will evolve.
A Joy Assignment-
Find any mundane task (for me it would be laundry) and reframe that task in your mind. So, if I take laundry, then I would shift from being frustrated that I have so much laundry to do to be grateful that I have laundry to do. Cleaning can become a joy because I have a home to clean. Then post a comment sharing about your joy assignment, and a blurt on your blog. I'll be sure to check it out and comment as well!
Here's a picture of my second daughter, making a structure with spaghetti noodles. Where's the joy? According to her, "it was just fun building with something other than blocks." For me? What a delight it aws to see her face and the sense of accomplishment she felt!

A joy assignment!!! I love this idea. I have been struggling with my attitude in this area and feeling swamped by my daily tasks. I am going to join in this little quest myself! Thanks for posting!
