As we adopted a more simple life, I found joys in the weirdest of places.,,, and I mean weird. Things that I used to hate before, became quite enriching.

What I came to learn is that joy is a mindset. Once you slow down and start looking for it, you see it everywhere.

Here are some of the strangest places I have found joy.
