Day 38 Joy in the pages of a book

This afternoon, after playing Lego-style football with my son for a bit longer than my personal liking, I picked back up the most recent book I have been reading, Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight, by Karen Scalf Linamen.  I love it when a book is able to speak to you right where you are at.  Well, okay it took until page 199 to really speak to my current life, but when it does, it's a great thing.  One of her 52 ways to master the art of personal change, number 38 to be exact, was entitled, "Ask Yourself, 'What Can I do?'"  It reminded me even when there are circumstances that are out of your hands, when you are temporarily stuck as she put it, there are always things you still CAN do...this, along with the first 15 minutes or so of Lego Football with my son, brought me joy today. ;)
