We learned in these moments that we would find whatever it was that we were looking for. The more committed we became toward making choices and living a life that would hold up this commitment to #wechoosejoy the easier it became. With each action that the girls and I took we began searching and looking for the light, the laughter, the positive, and boom just like that joy would appear. With a simple picture, a clumsy post, and probably my first hashtag I marked it with my decision #wechoosejoy. Thankfulness would have to be the stepping stone emotion I would use to get us to a place of joy. I came across this quote, “Thankfulness is the soil in which joy thrives.” While I wasn’t happy or at peace at that moment, I was thankful to my family, my tribe, and my community that had kept us afloat. I decided that while there was so much heartache and uncertainty stealing our every breath, I was going to look for more. On this Thanksgiving day as a newly widowed mom of two I made a decision. On November 26th, 2015 on a silly little Instagram account I made an accidental decision to find beauty in what had been broken. “Thankfulness is the soil in which joy thrives.” - author unknown
