Today is J!! @a-z challenge
Very often we spend loads of money in pursuit of Joy. But in that process, we forget the 'Joy' that we get from little things in life!
- A mother forgets all her labour pain the moment she sees her bundle of joy i.e her newborn.
- A child's uncorrupted innocence.
- Nature can give abundance of joy, like the new blooms during arrival of spring.
- The first showers after hot summer days.
- True relations give us joy. A genuine friend who cares without any expectations.
- A hug of a loved one.
I didn't forget the pain after having each one of my children, but it was a pain worth having. And they continue to be a 'joy' in my life. :-) Thanks for the blog!

no one really forgets, but i'm sure when you first saw the new born, for once only the baby was in ur mind and not the pain. in anycase i'm happy they give you constant joy...that was what the post was all about. and thanks a lot for sharing ur thoughts
DeleteJoy is a wonderful word. I've borne 5 children, each one a joyous miracle, though, I haven't forgotten the labor pains, and I'd do it all over again.
ReplyDeletewow 5...that must be quite a houseful u've got there...great to know u'd do it again...that's a mother speaking. wish ur family loads of happiness and thanks for the wonderful comment.
DeleteSo true! It is easy to forget those little things that mean so much. Thanks for the reminder! I am going to pick myself up some fresh flowers tomorrow- that is one little thing that works for me!
