What Feeds Your Soul?

‘What feeds your soul?’  What activities in life do you find adds a smile to your face and enthusiasm to your step?

One person would say volunteering as a Grandparent at the local elementary school adds joy to her life.  Another woman dreams of the day (when she is retired) and will be able to read as many books as she can get her hands on.

I find being creative adds inner satisfaction to life.  I’ve done many creative things in my life (some not so well).  I’ve done counted cross stitch and needlepoint.  I’ve played the piano. (I sold my piano when it became a piece of furniture instead of a source of joy.  I still love music—just not music I play.)  Now I’m writing.   I find putting words on paper to be a constant challenge  and a source of inner satisfaction. 

What adds joy to your life?  Make a choice and seek that which brings you joy.   It will be worth the effort.
