Radiating Joy

I heard an interview with Yo-Yo Ma on a public radio program called On Being this morning.  In the discussion, the interviewer noted that one of her producers had seen Yo-Yo Ma up close and that he radiated joy when he played.  I hope I radiate joy most of the time.  Energy and positivity.  About my running.  About my professional activities.  About my family.

I know I am not perfect.

I know I have down days.

I know I may even drag others down sometimes.

But my goal is to live what I heard about Yo-Yo Ma this morning--to radiate joy.  For others to share.

In my family life, in my professional life, in my personal life, and in my volunteer life.
