Know What You Like

There's nothing I love more than seeing the sunrise above the Atlantic ocean. What I really mean, is that I love the half and hour before the sun rises when the sky turns all kinds of colors. Getting to see this reflected off the ocean is one of the greatest joys for me.

This is why when I come to Cocoa Beach 1-2 times per year, I sacrifice sleeping in on vacation to be able to catch this sight. It fills me with joy to watch the sky change in the early morning.

Knowing that this is one of the things I love to see in this world, makes the decision to set an alarm and get up early a no-brainer. Some may think it's strange to get up earlier than you would normally on vacation but for me, it's kind of the best part.

Sure I might enjoy vacation by sleeping in, visiting the beach mid-morning, and watching the change of colors at sunset from the porch. But I've done this enough to know that nothing beats that early morning sunrise.

What are the things that fill you with such joy? What are the things you think you might like but need to explore? Getting to know what you like can help you find more of it in your life. This is the recipe for filling your days with joy.
