My Journey to finding Joy................(and it includes a Giveaway!!!!!)
I didn't create a long list of resolutions this year but the one thing I am aiming to do is find more JOY, and that even includes the very small things in life. Each day passes by in warp speed so I want to relish some very simple moments. Perhaps I will find JOY in a perfect cup of coffee, a simple I love you from Will, giggling for no reason or a simple smile from a stranger. Each week I will share just one of my joyful moments here at my blog. To kick off my journey in finding joy I am offering my Joy necklace from my shop, Kristen's Custom Creations to one lucky reader.
Would you like a chance to win it?

Two things brought me a lot of joy this week! (1)My birthday was yeserday and my hubby got me a fabulous gift that showed a lot of thought. (2)We went to the OKC Memorial. The empty chairs that represent the victims of the bombing had been decorated with the same Christmas wreaths that are laid in the National Cemeteries. Although the event itself brings a lot of sorrow, I was happy to see he victims remembered in this way.

I am an avid Facebook follower. One example of the joy I find (daily) in my children.....I found joy on the face of my 5 year old son last night when I handed him a brand new pair of very soft fleece pajamas. His face lit up and he threw his arms around my neck and exclaimed ,"Mom, you're the best"!! It's the little things in life that bring me joy.
ReplyDeleteI found out my "little sister" from college will be in my area next week. We've not seen each other in about 18 years, so I'm so excited!

ReplyDeleteGiving my daughter a kiss in the middle of the night and getting an "I love you, Mommy" back. :)
ReplyDeleteI follow you on your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteKind of bittersweet joy but I left my family to go back to school and I felt joy at the comments my youngest siblings made when I left. My eight year old brother asked "You come on holidays. Are you coming for Valentines Day?" and my three year old sister, upon hearing that I was going to New Jersey said, "I go plane New Jersey"
ReplyDeleteI miss them!
