Today is Fun Friday! Once a month we like to highlight the joyful noises our members, friends and families are making. There is plenty of other noise in the world around us, especially right now with all the political campaigning going on. So our joy in God’s love needs to be a bit louder to drown out the distractions of the problematic world around us.
Of course we don’t want to run away from problems, but we don’t want to focus on them all the time either. Whatever you focus on will expand, so focus on love, gratitude and bringing more joy into the world. Here’s how a couple of our local families do that.
Who knows how to have fun? I believe it’s the Diamond family, taking a big risk:
And enjoying God’s creation at the same time.
Don’t worry, they all miraculously survived. I guess a good attitude goes a long way toward being successful, no matter how crazy your choices are.
“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.” – Jack Canfield
Some people have fun in a much more down to earth way, like Yoko Green cuddling and baking with her grandchildren.
What could be more joyful than spending time with loved ones?
“Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.” – Mark Twain
Share your joy with us, tell us what you do for fun, what makes you happy. How do you experience and expand joy in this world?
