1. we are to have joy in our lives.

2.because "...men are, that they might have joy." 2nephi 2:25

3.sometimes you have to mentally stop and enjoy the feeling of joy

in that very moment when you recognize that particular something that is causing your joy.

(i think this was a result of an answer to prayer of wanting to have feel joy in my life)

4. it may behoove me (and you) to keep a 'joy journal'; recording the moments we had during the day when pure joy was felt in our being.

1. if de-seeding a tomato is your thing... then buy camperi tomatoes; they practically fall out after cutting them. with stem side on top, slice the right side of the tomato - not too close to the stem. repeat on left side. lay down the core that is left and slice right and left again of the stem. scoop out seeds.

2. little kid birthdays can be so much fun ;)

3. it's nice to have a huzbind that helps dye your hair at home. (dang! should've left the coloring on longer for a better color)

4. i really like late-night snacks...

1. organic blue corn chips with baked in little flax seeds are yummy, yummy

2. sleeping in freshly laundered sheets + having had a bath/shower yourself before going to bed is pure happiness.

3. that i don't like that the globe in my bedroom doesn't match my room colors. (it used to)

4. i like having small feet ;)

revisting

so, i'm wondering if this blog isn't such a waste of time after all. Actually, a thought came to me about 'what if i die' and how this blog could be something my girls could have that is about me.

i don't really feature myself on our family blog, which is the way it should be and all. well - maybe i do sometimes.

but - what if ?

this blog - essentially - tells about me and if my girls didn't get a chance to really know me because i - y'know - kicked the bucket, then this might be a good thing to have around.

don'tcha think?

hmmm....

i think it would be good and it really doesn't take that long to post.

maybe i should give it another whirl :)

1. i'm kinda dopey.

2. i don't really want to do this blog anymore.

3. i want to pursue something else.

4. loving your comments and support anyway! {huggs}

1. i have a love/hate with my hometown in Oregon.

2. i really need to sit under lots of foil and hair dye soon. *yikes!*

3. i need to sleep more.

4. i am getting somewhat tired of the cold winter weather.

1. it's funny that i would have a 'morning' blog. i'm a Night-Owl with a capital 'n'. LOL!

well, 'cept i do my posts at night and then publish them for the next day's reading at midnight.

2. i'm grateful to nurse wendy who is on the dvd, "elmo visits the doctor." she unknowingly taught me how to administer eye drops to my girls in a less dive-bomby-way. *sweet*

3. i make a mean french dip sandwich. Mmmm.

4. some people are so hard to read.
