I spent many years attending classes at Portland State University, and then worked there for an additional year after I graduated. Around campus, especially in the Smith Memorial Building, there are words posted on the walls, the floor, across window panels. Some are words of wisdom, others are partly stories. One of my favorites was the quote to the left “Protect your Joy”
Other things I am joyful about: welcoming the summer by planting flower seeds with my 7-year-old neighbor Carmen. She was a great helper, singing songs about growing flowers, and eager to use the watering can to get those seeds started. We were both a bit grubby by the end of the afternoon, and are looking forward for those seeds to start sprouting!
What is your source of joy?
