Dividing Joy

Two months ago,

I could not sleep from excitement.

I had dreamt of this day for most of my life.

It had finally come

and it was perfect.

 

Moments after becoming engaged,

I stood up abruptly and proclaimed that I needed to call my mom.

Even though it was late,

I had to wake up my sleeping family to tell them news.

Sleep was not happening,

I called a friend on the West coast (the time difference worked in my favor this time).

I woke up early to tell the story again,

and within the next few days I told it what seemed hundreds of times.

I did not mind.

I wanted to tell the world.

I wanted everyone to share in my happiness.

 

Throughout it all, these words kept coming to my mind and

I understood them with what felt like every fiber of my being.

 

 

 

My cup had overflowed,

and I did not want this outpouring to go to waste,

but to be sopped up by everyone around me.

Still do.

Inspiration for your Joy-gust:

 

Spread Joy:

Walk down memory lane with someone dear to your heart.

Be it through a text, phone call, or an actual walk.

Let them know how that moment in time impacted your life and you cherish it.

 

Be Joy-filled:

Find an old favorite book and re-read a chapter.

 

Hugs,

Christina
