In my Coping and Healing groups (which bring me joy), people have been talking about being overwhelmed by the news, fears about the future, loss, medical issues, grief, uncertainties, tasks, unknowns, obligations, other people, and possessions. Regarding the latter, several people have brought up Marie Kondo and her advice to keep only the things that bring you joy.
During these anxious and depressing times, it can be very difficult to focus on the things that bring us joy, but I’m doing my best to bring it, every moment.
Do any of my images today bring you joy?



















No matter how I’m feeling, Joan definitely brings me joy (among other things).

I think that in turbulent times right now I’m finding joy sitting outside under the trees and birdwatching. It’s so simple, but the birds are building nests and going on with their instinctual daily duties without being brought under the stress of the daily news. There’s a lot to be learned by watching them!
This comment brings me joy, Debra!
