Sunrise

I love seeing a Sunrise. I love the Sunrise and yet I struggle with the thought and sometimes the act of getting up early.

Sunrise defined as “the moment when the upper rim of the Sun appears on the horizon in the morning”.

My daughter loves the Sunrise. It seems to be one of my daughter’s favourite things to do with us. And sometimes we put it off, a lot of times we put it off.

On my list of what I want to do before my surgeries was Sunrise with my daughter. And so today we got up early and went to the Sunrise. The colours, the sky, the sun was incredible. I love time with my daughter.

The Sunrise brought us both Joy. The Sunrise brings me Joy.

I have 8 more days of Sunrise. I would love to see the Sunrise every morning until my surgeries. Not sure why. Yet I know the Sunrise brings me Joy. Despite the early mornings I think I can do it. Going to bed soon, alarm is set and going to get up and go and be in Joy.

I Choose Joy

Today is Mother’s Day 2020 - I love being a Mum and I love celebrating special occasions with my beautiful family - I am blessed.

As a Mum there is so much to do and so much to get done. As a Mum I am on a Mission to be the best Mum I can be - this is what is most important to me. I do love the word Mission, defined as “an important goal or purpose that is accompanied by strong conviction”.

Today I am setting a simple Mission for the year ahead - to be Joyful or Joy Filled.

I love the word Joyful, defined as “experiencing, causing or showing Joy”. I also love the idea of Joy Filled - where the word Fill means “to make, to become full, to use empty space”, and Joy means “delight, pleasure, happiness” and to be filled with Joy means “to be extremely happy, content, to be delighted”.

I love when you feel Joy - it is felt in the heart - it lights you up and warms your heart and creates an imprint in our memory.

I will be actively choosing and pursuing Joy, and deliberating creating Joy to colour our days and nights.

I am making a commitment to write 100 posts over the next one year, two per week, as an opportunity to record my thoughts, insights, discoveries. This is my journey and I write these posts to be the best Mum I can be - it is not intended to give advice - it is my brave process and adventure, and this Blog is about keeping me accountable too.

I am actively going to pursue Joy Starters and be conscious of, and proactive with, the Joy Robbers. And I want to teach my children the importance of Joy too. I really want my children to be happy and Joyful, where each night as we go to sleep we are at peace.

I am hoping that when I reach Mother’s Day 2021, I will look back on the year and really feel that it was Joyful, and that in this process I learn new tips and tricks for my life.
