...just sharing

To get the full value of joy you must have 

someone to divide it with.

~ Mark Twain

                                 
                                                 I'm a solitary person.  
                              I spend most of my days and nights alone
                                I like a lot of things about being alone.

I love that I have the space...

I find joy most every day in my little bit of the world.
It's not so hard. 

 I am blessed in so many ways.  

But I think Mark Twain is right.  

To get the full value of joy it needs to be shared.

joy is doubled when I do something enjoyable with someone I really like..

joy is adding something good and seeing it lift someone...

joy is relaxing into a shared hug...

joy is looking in someones eyes and knowing we are of the same tribe...

joy is looking in someones eyes and seeing love reflected back...

joy is laughing together until my sides hurt..

joy is being invited in...

joy is meeting someone I want to invite in....

joy is discovering a shared joy...

joy is sharing a silly dance...

joy is standing in front of  someone in all my nakedness

 and having them see me and not turn away...

joy is sharing a dream and having someone else believe in it too....

joy is holding hands..

joy is sharing good news and having the one I'm sharing with

jump up and down with me..

joy is snuggling in and feeling safe...

joy is having the words to help someone feel a little safer...

joy is when someone has those words for me...

joy is having someone look forward to sharing with me...

joy is sharing success with someone who cares....

joy is shared success...

joy is sharing something that leaves me in awe...

joy is sharing a smile at just the right moment..

joy is speaking the same words at the same time because we're so in sync...

I guess it all adds up to the fact that that I love my alone time...

but I adore shared moments of joy.

I guess I'm a joy seeker.
