Where do you find your joy? For me, it’s a beautiful sunrise. There’s nothing better than sitting on the beach and watching the sunrise over the ocean. Don’t get me wrong I love a beautiful sunset too, but to watch the sun embark on a brand new day is truly an inspirational and joyous experience. Despite this and the many other joys I’m so blessed to have in my life, none compare to my ultimate joy!
