Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Wasted Time

It is ironic

what the world says

is wasted time

Smelling flowers

laughing with friends

sitting by a window

All of which

enrich our lives

I would rather sit with

my cat, Jovi

and watch the birds with her

than most things in the world

And that would be a waste of time

according to some

But love & joy

connection & peace

stillness &wonder

are never wasted times

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
