Sharing Joy

I have been trying to add to the world by sharing my joys with others. Be that sharing the music of a favorite band (Tool) or sharing a hobby.

I've been sharing my love of photography with my son for the last year and a half. And more recently by girlfriends daughter. Both derived a lot of joy capturing their view of the world.

In sharing I find I receive back much more than I give. I get to hear others perspectives on the music I love and I get to see the world through the eyes of others.

Simple Pleasures

Of all the things in my life that I've derived pleasure from the simplest of pleasures have always been the most satisfying. These simple pleasures cost little to no money. Most of these pleasures are available all around us.

I filled the need in the past by spending a lot of money on a lot of things that held no real value. I wound up with a lot of clutter. The more clutter you have around you the harder it is to see the simple pleasures before you. I have been slowly decluttering my home and my mind.

I hope to continue this process while continuing to learn to recognize and appreciate the simple pleasures.
