I don’t know ...Thank you Kathy for the challenges. I don’t know if I enjoyed them as much as I was focused on receiving something important from each of the days. I wanted to be able to tie everything thing to experiencing Joy, the biblical definition. As I reviewed my journaling over all the days, I like Day 5 – observing someone under 6 and Day 15 – practice contentment, the best. What I learned about myself is that I want to approach life with an open heart and a sense of adventure. <br /><br /><br />DAY 5 – UNDER 6 OBSERVATION<br /><br />The ability to fully enjoy the moment that you are in with no view for finding something else. The expectation that there will be joy and not be disappointed.<br />DAY 15 – PRACTICE CONTENTMENT<br /><br />"I suppose contentment is very well not being disturbed or disquieted. It is a spiritual mindset that affects the soul and not just the emotions associated with material and physical things"<br /><br />During the challenges of the 30 days, I kept a running list of themes for what I was learning. It all started because I was trying to understand the correlations between happiness and joy. So as each day’s challenge presented itself, I would try to tie it back to an understanding of JOY. Here is my list of correlations and the dates observed. After reviewing all of them they really could be added to the defining of JOY so I am satisfied that the journey of discovery was complete.<br /><br />1. Joy – to abound more exceedingly<br />2.
