Joys of Today

1. Taking a risk: I'm currently writing grant proposals for community projects. I have no idea if they will get funded or not. But the feeling of putting it all out there, sure feels good.

2. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I haven't had one of these in awhile and it tastes even better than I remember.

3. Clean sheets and putting away the winter blankets. Though you may think that I am crazy for saying the coming of summer is a joy, it absolutely is in that it is a change of season which can bring many new things.

4. Yoga in the garden. I am blessed with a beautiful and fragrant garden here in Thailand.

5. Listening to a new cd that took days to download. Music is always worth the wait.


I encourage all of you to slow down long enough to find one joy in you day. I am lucky enough to have a job and live in an exciting place that allows for this every day.

  1. Greetings Sarah. As a reader of your blog, I'd like to inform you that it has helped me make a rather large decision in my life. I've decided to follow your example and become a volunteer to the Peace Corps. This decision has been a long time coming, as I've had it in the back of my mind since my early teen years. I would ask one thing of you, though: In a future entry if you could comment further on some things you regret not having learned prior to arriving in Thailand. Your experience here may make my transition smoother. Thank you in advance. - BBR

    Hey Sarah, You are certainly right in finding at
    least one joy in your life every day. It's possible for everyone who looks for it. Reading your blogs is a joy every day I read one.

    You must have found another one today on reading a
    comment from BBR who has decided to joint the Peace Corps in part from reading your blogs.
