Late yesterday afternoon I was feeling frustrated. I had to upgrade my Quickbooks program . Me and numbers, and administrative things don’t always get along well. I try to play nice, but sometimes it gets the best of me.

I thought I did what I needed to do so everything would run smoothly with the update. But  I lost part of the data when I did the upgrade. I was so frustrated. This now means I have to go back through four months of paperwork and re-enter it.

Just then I heard birds fluttering in the bird bath outside my writing cottage screen door. I looked up to see Joie also intrigued with the sound. My heart melted. One second I was holding my breath in stress. The next moment I let my breath out and smiled. All will always be right with the world if you find small moments of joy. Joie was my reminder.
