Joy

 During this season, I am trying to find joy when this job is boring.  I am seeking joy when life is not exciting.  I am seeking out joy when this job is draining.   I am seeking out joy when I zone at work.  I am seeking out joy in the midst of the day to day at work as well. 

Birthday

 This year's birthday month showed me the friends that God has blessed me with.   The friends that have been with me even in the hard seasons.   The friends that have supported me and encouraged me.   The friends that have prayed for me.   The friends through various stages of life, churches I have attended, and wherever God has led me.    Lastly, it showed me the friends that have loved and cared for me.
