Tonight I was sitting by my grandson, Tyler, while his mother was cooking dinner. (We take turns cooking, and it was her night.) I remember how difficult it is to cook when you have very young children. Tyler is not quite a year old. He is a cheerful, engaging little boy, but he does not have a long attention span due to his age. So, I was sitting with him to keep him entertained.

Hearing a child laugh is truly a thing of beauty! It is infectious and will undoubtedly bring a smile to your lips. My grandchildren (particularly my granddaughter, Abbey) laugh a lot! She has such joy in the world around her. She is at the age when she gives a running commentary of her day. Now that I see her everyday, I understand most of what she says. She makes me laugh!

The next time that you are around children-a park, a school, a family's home-take some time to listen to the sound of children's laughter. I promise it will make you smile and bring you joy.
Have you found your joy today?
