What might the letters J-O-Y stand for? How about:
J – JAM. Because joy is often very personal. What’s the jam that gets your joy rockin’?
O – OPEN. As joy can lead to a feeling of openness.
Y – YES!!! Joy often precedes a small or large internal or external yes. And this can be shown in a thousand ways for example: a smile, laughter, tears, or shining eyes.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, sometimes we have to make our own joy, today I tried some word play. Here’s a sample: How would we express our joy if we were:
- a story? We might turn a page.
- gorillas? We might pound our chests.
- the sun? We might play hide and seek with the clouds.
- a poem? We might have a bit more rhythm
- frogs? We might croak! Hmmm? We might jump – jump for joy!
What do the letters J-O-Y mean for you today?
Enjoy the stories and have a playful day.
