Joy in the Ordinary

Look around, really look around and you will find joy... joy in the everyday... joy in the ordinary things.
 
Celebrating  my 42nd birthday.
 
 
Mama you are how old? 
 
 
Making time to do something I enjoy.
 
 
I was published!
 
 
 
Made something for a basket that had been empty for far to long.
 
 
Even when it is cold the sight of the sunshine lifts my spirits!
 
 
Tackling some put off task.
 
 
My imagative crew on their fire truck.
 
 
May your day be filled with joy and contentment!

Congrats on getting published! How exciting for you and your family! I'm glad you are finding joy in the joy every day. God sure does send us a lot of joy, if only we will look outside of ourselves. Have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday. How exciting to have a recipe published.

Sunshine does a lot of the body. We saw it briefly yesterday.

Have a wonderful day.

That sky is gorgeous! We've had such pretty sunrises here lately, too.

Happy belated birthday.

Monica and I saw your recipe in GP! She received a free review copy, and we flipped through it together. Exciting!

How exciting to be published!

Just wanted to let you know that I tried to reply to a comment you left me and the message got returned to me as undeliverable. Maybe your email settings need to be updated? I think it happened last time I tried to reply too. Just wanted to let ya know.
