Feeling free and having freedom adds joy in life. Jot down some ways you feel freedom. When in need of some choose one and go do it. If you need to fit it in, put it on your calendar or schedule and just do it when it pops up. Freedom is a beautiful sensation to feel and it great way to add joy in life.  To have freedom and to feel free is great! I often feel this when I’m driving alone in my car and I’m reminded of freedom around the 4th of July. What are some experiences when you feel free or something that represents freedom for yourself?  Choose one fun thing to do today and just do it!

Having fun as adults can be gardening, crafting or other activities you enjoy or want to try. Find ways to have some fun and fill your fun bucket often!

One way is joining a game of tag or water balloon fun with kids in the family or other adults. Be open to opportunities, even if it’s a bit outside of your comfort zone. Have some fun and take time to play.  Photo by Jed Villejo on Unsplash Having a simple jar to write down the joys, success and more on a small pieces of paper is a great visual to have out. Add to it when something brings a smile to your face, joy in your heart or a feeling of success. Just jot it down and toss it in and enjoy the visual of the jar filling up. I've been using fun colors of paper that are cat shaped. Delight in the moments of joy, smiles and success in your life.  Connect with nature in some way this week
Connecting with nature feels good, is enjoyable and relaxing too.  I don't get to Trillium Lake OR much but I do get to see beautiful Mt. Hood Often.

Each week, for 54 weeks, I answer a question that shows up in my email about family, childhood and more. Responses can be short or long and if I have a picture, I send one along. At the end of the year I’ll receive a book with all my stories in it. This continues to be an enjoyable walk down memory lane.

Give yourself love, by keeping your self-care promises. Having choices to do something you want to do in your week adds joy into life. Here are some ideas:
What would you choose, I’d choose number 1?   What are you currently binge watching?
Recently, my hubby and I were binge watching Stargate Universe. Binge watching shows is more my thing and it was fun to do this together.  Joyful Life Living, Uncover Your Joy got a book-lift. It was calling to me to add in more goodies I’ve learned and leave the great nuggets from when it was originally published.
