If I’m being honest, JOY is about the last topic I want to write about today.
I’m not having a bad day at all.
I’m just tired, I have a headache, and I have to go to bed early so I can get up at 4:30 a.m. to go run my annual (well, becoming that, anyway…) 5k.
At least I’m ready for this one. JOY. Truly…I love knowing that I can do this and not feel like I’m going to completely die at the end!
And waiting for me at the finish line is lots and lots of chocolate. Which is more JOY, even if it will completely undo any good I did my body this week! 😉
I also got to have a lunch date with Tobin and Maelie downtown today.
More JOY. T’ was really, really fun.
Maelie even ate and didn’t throw food.
There’s a ton of JOY right there!
It’s a beautiful fall day…warm enough for a sweater and jeans.
Love days like this.
JOY.
This afternoon I got to hop down (up?…it’s up…I am so directionally challenged) to Firefly and chat with a new friend for a bit. It was nice. JOY.
This morning I put on my JOY necklace…more JOY. No pun intended.
I’m not a big jewelry we
arer, though I love to make it.
But this little necklace always makes me smile. I love what it means…and for the sweet reminder it is to find JOY no matter what.
On the way home from downtown, Mae was fighting a nap. She closed her eyes about ten minutes from home, and we were doing everything we could to keep her awake. It was the sweetest thing to see her smile in her sleep when we tickled her toes.
JOY.
Though I didn’t really feel like writing about JOY, it’s something I’m so thankful for.
Thank you, God, for putt ing so much JOY
in my days.
What was JOYful about your day
?
Note from Mel: Ok, ok, I concede. This photo thing is killing me…I TOLD you it was my weakness.
😉 How about a few every week?!
