"We start our day in joy camp and end our day in joy camp. It doesn't matter if your day is good or bad; you have the security of knowing you will be with people who are happy to see you at the end of the day. Families that successfully build this type of rhythm will find themselves living with the margin they need to handle the stresses of life and increase their joy."
The rhythm of our Sundays is bookended by church in the morning and youth orchestra rehearsal in the evening. While Katherine plays her cello with other young musicians, we take a walk or hike a trail then find a place for "coffee and calendar" (usually Barnes and Noble because I have gift cards!). I anticipate this weekly tradition and enjoy our time together.
During Katherine's first rehearsal of the season, we explored around downtown Little Rock and walked across several of the pedestrian bridges that cross the Arkansas River. We discovered some beautiful vintage "love locks" on Junction Bridge and enjoyed the view from the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge. Building these rhythms and routines into our lives also increases our joy and helps us stay connected during the week.
