Welcome,Friends!

Joy.  It can be hard to find and even harder to hold onto.  It’s invisibly everywhere;we’re brushing up against it,we’re breathing it in,but we’re so preoccupied and unaware most of the time that it pushes by and passes through us.

We’ve got jobs and bills and responsibilities and heartache and exhaustion and deadlines and worries.  Sometimes it feels like we’re drowning in “real life,”and joy is a rare bubble in its quicksand pull.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Joy is a choice.  Joy is an attitude.  Joy is a mindset.  Joy is a shift,a change,a feeling.  It’s like a new pair of glasses;suddenly you can see every beautiful leaf on every tree,where there was once just a dull mass of green.  It’s being grateful and giving thanks,not just once a year,but every day.

I am a regular girl.  I have bad days and I have good days and I have blah days.  I’m no expert on joy;I don’t think anyone is –it’s a personal experience.  But I am committed to finding joy.  I am committed to staying grateful. I am committed to living a life that I love and loving the life that I live,down to it’s very last sweet crumb.  And I am committed to helping you do the same.

I want to hear your experience of joy.  I want to know what you’re grateful for.  What does joy feel like?  When was the last time it took you over?  Have you lost it?  Have you found it?  This is a community of inspiration. On our good days we will keep each other flying,and on our bad days we will pick each other up.

No matter where you are in your life (Quarter-life crisis?  Mid-life crisis? Hate your job? Just feeling ick?),you can find more joy.  It’s not about making a huge life overhaul,but about making tiny little shifts today that bring more happiness into the life you already live.

Take a look around;this site is a work in progress and I appreciate your feedback.  Sign up for the newsletter (in the sidebar),and you’ll get an email once a month compiled of your comments,gratitude lists,pledges to joy,and stories.  Need to share?  Send me an email or leave me a comment;I would love to feature you in a future post.

I'm the Grateful Sparrow,and this is your go-to place for daily inspiration.


Today I am so happy and grateful for you - thank you for visiting. #spreadgratitude
