Joy. The feeling is fantastic. What brings it is so varied. Years ago, our Relief Society president gave us a joy journal. We were supposed to write in it each day about the things that brought us joy that day. So what has brought me joy today . . .
the clouds
spring is closer than not
my children practicing piano
lunch with Jon
countdown chains
my family . . . each and every person I can count as family
dusty . . . our cute, lovable, furry, dog
the color pink
the number on the scale today . . . 2 more pounds to preChristmas weight . . . hehe
good music
dark chocolate M&M's--both the peanut and plain varieties-though I didn't have any today precisely--just a longing--like a long distance relationship right now
lydia's smile
jonathan's toothless grin
cortney's kisses
matthew's teasing
ally's love
jon.
the temple being so close--love seeing it as I drive around town
our home
my friends
our quiet neighborhood
reading with Cortney
her thank you at Burger King today
the smell in deseret book
the Valentine balloons at Wal-mart
What has brought you joy today? Thinking about it just may bring an extra smile to your face. love me.
See what I believe . . .
Who I love the most
See why . . .

Thanks Kristin! Life is all about seeing the joy in the "little" things. It is those things that keep us going! Always good to get a reminder of that. :-)
i've been waiting for you to return to your little corner...thank you for such a glimpse into your life...i must say ally's love is very much part of my list...and cortney's sparkle in her eyes...and you, i'm so blessed to have you. have a great day honey.
Kristin, I don't even know where to start. Reading this brought a tear to my eye. I feel so strongly about finding joy in the little things and it brings me joy when others do, too. Today, you, brought me joy.
