Joyful Fun For Writers

How to find happiness in preparation

“I will prepare and someday my chance will come.” ― Abraham Lincoln

Dear Readers and Writers,

Have you ever noticed how much joy you get out of preparing for an event? Sometimes it can bring you 90% of the happiness.

Right now, I am preparing for a small afternoon tea party with three of my closest friends.

Planning for this celebration brings a smile to my face every day.

I have fun looking at afternoon tea books I checked out at the library, dreaming of the flavors of each recipe. I imagine the flowers on the table, the conversations, and the laughter.

This week I invite you to write about your joyful preparation.

Recall when you enjoyed preparing for an event, a monumental occasion, or a change in your life.

I look forward to your writing this week here at Thank You Notes!

Here is this week’s inspirational video to get you started:
