Home? It's a Play Pen, right?

• Joy

So, I'm creating JOY in my life. That's my JOB, because if I matter, I take my power, and I use my brain and body to create joy in my life, then I'm going to be a beacon of light, and not be crabby, numb, on edge or miserable. That sounds like a good thing. So I'm looking around my house and wondering if I am creating this nice little play pen for myself. Not what anyone else would like, but my personalized play pen. I have JUST what I need to make MYSELF enormously happy. Let's see. I have my cat, and she is loving and so soft and sweet. She lets me carry her around the house like a baby, and doesn't even act like she is tolerating me. She is that sweet. Then I have my bookshelves. I LOVE looking at the books, sifting through the books, and remembering reading the books and discovering what they say. I have a hot shower and I LOVE the heat on my shoulders and all the splashes of water. But what else could I do to make my house feel like my own personal playpen? What do you do to create joy from all the natural pleasures . . .speaking of that, I think I will go play my piano . . . and put my running shoes by the front door, so I go for a run tomorrow morning . . .
