Did you ever have a bad day when you just didn’t have that joy, joy, joy, joy down in your heart?
I have. On days like that, the grumpies hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s not pretty. My kids keep their distance.
I’m sure you’ve had those days too.
The solution?
Inspiration.
I enjoy reading inspirational quotes. I find the wisdom of others helps to get me back on the right track when my feet start taking a detour. They help me get centered.
The other day, I thought, “Well, maybe other homeschoolers need some inspirational quotes too. Something to help them keep on the path that they desire. Or something they can share with their children to reinforce character development.” So I decided it was time to share the wealth, spread the joy, divvy out the blessings. Well, you know what I mean.
I’m going to start throwing out some posts here and there with inspirational quotes. They’ll usually be based on a theme. I’m starting with quotes about joy today. Hopefully they will serve as a tool and a reminder of how you and your family can keep that joy in your heart.
So here they are in both image and text formats. Enjoy! (Pun intended)
