Finding Joy in the Midst

In the midst of what, you might ask!?!  

Particularly after the 2016 election in the United States, I have been overwhelmed with sadness, frustration, and embarrassment. Within these feelings has grown a need to find joy, create happiness, and to turn my focus to positive things. I also have a renewed drive to work for positive change.

So in an effort to "find joy," I have decided to create a blog with which to share moments of joy, whether they be my own, a story from the news, something from a friend, or an item I come across in my extensive wanderings on the Internet. 

I don't mean to present a "Pollyanna" point of view, for we are far from living in a joyous, happy, carefree world...quite the opposite, in fact.  But I feel that each day I need to find a small piece of the world that brings a few moments during which I can smile, relax, and remind myself that all is not lost.
