I HAVE A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW!!!

Do you know how sometimes you are in the mist of something, and some seemingly random thoughts just pop up in your mind?For example, that argument you had a few hours ago or a few months agošŸ¤£, or that person that cut you off when you were driving (I have been guilty of thatšŸ˜«ā€¦Not intentionally).

When that sometimes happens to me, I can ruminate about what happened; and depending on what it is, I ruminate about it a lot (I wish you could see my facial expression right now šŸ™„). Well, I am learning to apply something that I am good at to bring me joy.

When a feeling that brings me joy takes over me, I can stop and enjoy the moment. I can ā€œruminateā€ about it and depending on what it is, ā€œruminateā€ about it a lot.

Maybe itā€™s a memory of something good, something that brings me overwhelming joy or puts a smile on my face, Today, it was while I was pulling into my driveway and I thought of my daughter-in-law. The joy of having her officially as a part of our family, brought me great joy. Instead of letting the though flee quickly, I stopped, captured it, and enjoyed it.

It only takes a few minutes to STOP and ENJOY! Stop and cry of joy, stop and thank God for the memory, the joy, and the peace you feel over something. Whatever you are doing will still be there. So take a moment to, STOP and ENJOY!
