Rediscover Your Joie de Vivre

A French lesson de moi à toi - from me to you - because I am having a joie de vivre sort of morning, thanks to Easter leftovers (Quiche Lorraine!) and afterglow happiness from a lovely Easter Brunch which included my daughter and son-in-law and their adorable one and half year old daughter, our precious Bina, who was completely delightful all day long.

Joie de vivre. What does it mean?

Joie de vivre is a French phrase often used in English to express a cheerful enjoyment of life, and exultation of spirit.

It can be a joy of conversation, joy of eating, joy of gardening, joy of anything one might do.

For the French, joie de vivre means looking at your life as something that is to be taken with great pleasure, to enjoy it.

Joie de vivre may be seen as a joy of everything, a comprehensive joy, a philosophy of life.
