The other day I was reminded of that great feeling of finding money in your pocket as I watched my son's face erupt with joy as he pulled a $5 bill out of his pocket. He had considered that money lost as several nights back he was searching his wallet, hiding places and all of the nooks and crannies. Out of sight, out of mind and then, FOUND. What a great feeling! (recently I think all I've found is some lint, old receipts and a mint).

I loved seeing that smile and began to think about capturing that moment more everyday. Wouldn't it be great to experience true joy over lost things, found things, scheduled things and spontaneous things! What would it take? A new perspective? More thought? Coincidence?

Make it a plan this week to find that kind of joy each day.
