Thoughtful Thursdays

As part of my Spread Joy in 2018, I’ve decided to share quotes, poetry, photos and sometimes just my thoughts on Thursdays — Thoughtful Thursdays.  My hope is that these posts will help me (and maybe others) focus on the joys of life.

Thoughtful Thursday Link Up

I’d love to have others join me.  It’d be wonderful to have a full-page of great quotes, poetry and photos to share.   Simply email me at  rainydayreflections2015@gmail.com your positive or thoughtful quote, photo or poetry along with your post link by 2:00 PM CST each Wednesday. We are working on spreading joy; so please stay positive.  I’ll combine everything and post on Thursday afternoon.    (You do not have to be a Word Press blogger to participate; but I will post your link if you choose to write a post.)

My first Thoughtful Thursday post is below

Joy Comes in Sips…

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset,
the giggle of a grandchild,
the first snowfall.
It’s the little things that make happy moments,
not the grand events.
Joy comes in sips, not gulps.
