Week EIGHT of fifty-two | {joy}

A bit late in posting last week’s theme, but no need to worry, it’s finally here!! One thing (of many) that brings joy to my life is family and I know that at times we all take family for granted, but you just don’t know what is ahead, so we all need to remember to appreciate and soak up EVERY minute you have with family!! Be grateful for what time you have with them and don’t regret putting off what you can do today! As of now, we have one granddaughter, well, actually, two, but the second is about 2 months away from delivery, so she’s not here just quite yet, but we are SO very anxious for her arrival. Grandchildren are AMAZING gifts and bring so much JOY to those who are blessed with them and our granddaughter is truly a shining star in our lives. She always makes me smile, makes me forget about my troubles, makes me laugh and warms me up with love when I’m around here. On this afternoon, we went to “play” in the “winter weather” around here and as you can see, we had a great time and the temperature or precipitation didn’t matter a bit, we just had fun…and this is what JOY is to me…fun and happiness!!

Wishing each of you a wonderful week, filled with lots of JOY and love…and remember to take the time for those you love and care about…let them know just how much they mean to you….TODAY!!
