I am eager to share the joy of life today.
Today my heart overflows with joy as I encounter the world afresh. My pulse quickens in anticipation of all the treasures I will find when I refresh my senses, discovering anew blessings everywhere present.
I listen for the musical sounds of life blossoming—from a bird’s song to children’s laughter—and am awed at how many amazing ways life finds its expression. I open my eyes to the beauty of the natural world and pause to take in the aroma of my morning coffee as it brews. Stepping outside, I feel the sun warm my skin.
Opening myself to the everyday wonders that surround me, I am joyous. Filled with gratitude for the gift of my senses, I commit to sharing joy through kindness and positivity, touching others’ lives as the morning’s gifts touched mine.
Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy.
—Psalm 47:1
