This year started off with a bang. Literally. At midnight I awoke to fireworks, my girlfriend's dog, Tashi, scampering around my house and my girlfriend, Jodi, heading to the bathroom. I pick up Tashi and put her on my bed to soothe her and as Jodi comes out of the bathroom I ask for a hug before she gets back in her bed and she steps on cat poo!
This is Tashi's third visit to my house and my cats are not amused. One of them decided to let me know just how not amused he was by leaving a large pile of poo on the floor next to my bed. With fireworks exploding all around, Jodi is washing the poo off her foot while I clean up the floor.
I'm finding the humor in this, especially as I hear Jodi tell it. She's got the best sense of humor and makes me laugh 'til I cry almost every time we're together.
This is the year I turn 50. Just a little over a month now. I've decided to do my own happiness project for my birthday. Seems fitting that my word would have something to do with this project. My project, instead of being a "happiness project" will be my own Journey of Joy, documented right here. I'll be focusing on finding ALL the little bits of JOY in my life this year.
The first day of this year included having Jodi make me breakfast (yum!), yoga, massages, great food with friends, a wonderful walk through an old cemetery, games, great chocolate, and writing. Lots of joy to start off the year, for sure.
Do you have a word of the year? If so, please share.
