I was reminded this weekend how important it is to find joy in our lives. Saturday night I huddled with a small gathering of people beneath a large tree as a wind storm swept around us. The branches creaked above us and we moved closer together to hear two people pledge their lives to each other. To be each other's port in the storm. Sunday I gathered with a church full of people to celebrate the life a wonderful man who loved knowledge, music, and his family. It was a ceremony filled with song and stories about his life. He found joy through music and shared that joy with others. This is the quote the family shared with all of us, from Carl Sagan: "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Be curious about life and share the joy you find.
Lovely! And a goos reminder. Thanks!
