This morning I spent some time reflecting about my opportunity in the classroom. I recognized what makes it so rewarding is the people I am surrounded by. A paycheck is one thing. Working with awesome people, it’s a paycheck paid in moments of joy.
Watching Reid’s face light up as we went down the hill. Watching Ella cheer for her little brother skiing. Going through the tunnel on skis. That was one family day filled with joy.
Walking with people you love. Being so tired that you can’t walk anymore. Watching them laugh at you as you slide down the hill pretending to that your pants are a toboggan. Laughing as you come to a stop. Nothing but joy.
Celebrating the love you have for someone, that definitely brings me a sense of joy.
Coming home to your house smell and the ones you love, nothing but a sense of joy.
I ran from just outside of the Old Park City Village up to Deer Valley. The sun was setting as I reached the base of the mountain. I looked up and smiled, I felt nothing but joy.
Standing at the top of Park City, Utah looking at the vast array of mountains around me, taking in a big drink of air, filled my lungs and my heart with joy.
I love heading out to see different places, especially when I get to travel with the people I love the most in the world. The anticipation of going on an adventure with people you love – fills my heart with joy.
The sound of snow crunching beneath your feet on a cold, crisp, sunny day, it’s the sound of joy.
We love each other. We trust each other. We give each other the space we need to do things that are important. Watching Rol head out the door today my heart was full and I smiled with joy.
