I love your 100 ways to feel joy! Word for word I could almost copy everyone!
But # 1 is the most profound to me. We do have to choose huh. 😀
I enjoyed your "blessings" from your last post. Where did your DH serve his mission? We have lots of ties in the southwest part of Colorado and northern N Mexico.
Enjoy your day.
