Connecting to JOY, ALOHA, BALANCE and ....

And I wait. Every year. I wait. I wait for that one little word to show itself. Every year. First, was CONNECT in 2012. I didn't write publicly about that one. But I think it made an impact on me :) In 2013, JOY came to me over our family's Christmas celebration. JOY visits me daily. And I find I don't have to look for it much any more. JOY just shows up and I am smart enough to enjoy those moments. Writing JOY JOY after tragedy Family JOY Choosing JOY At the end of 2013 my husband and I traveled to Hawaii with his sister and her husband.There were so many wonderful moments in that trip. I kept a travel journal to remind me of the little moments that I never wanted to forget. Two years later, I still look back on that trip as a life changing experience. And on the last day, A L O H A found me for 2014. I practiced my word whenever I could. I found that JOY joined in and that my one little words were forming a family. Remembering ALOH
