Day 256: Tuppence A Bag

Put together a 200-piece puzzle with Little M today. Helped him learn that he can do hard things. And had a great time doing it together.

Joyful Moment.

Fed the family a new recipe tonight. Rejected by Sweet P and Little M. HH said, "Put this at the top of your list of recipes!" So glad someone appreciates my efforts.

Joyful Moment.

HH's coworker had a daughter get married over the weekend and gave him all of the leftover rolls. A whole gigantic bakery box full. Fed the ducks as a family tonight. Or the catfish, as they were more interested in stale bread than the ducks were. Good times all together.

Joyful Moment.

Wishing you all Joyful Moments x 3!

Quotes to Live By

"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other... We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."

--Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

--Marcel Proust

"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"

--George Eliot

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."

--Peace Pilgrim

"Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness."

--John Calvin

Nobody says you must laugh, but a sense of humor can help you overlook the unattractive, tolerate the unpleasant, cope with the unexpected and smile through the day."

--Ann Landers

About Me

The purpose of this blog has evolved over the years. It started as a blog to discuss ways to create greater joy in our lives. But then I decided to post a daily Joyful Moment for a year to help me get through the pregnancy and infancy of my third child. The year came and went and I wasn't ready to give it up yet. So, I just kept going. Now, I'm chronicling my experience with talk therapy, too.

I would love for you to join in on my challenge and share your joys here, as well!

The cast of characters includes me (Cheryl), my husband HH (Hot Honey) who is kind enough to wash the dishes while I post many nights, Sweet P my 8-year old daughter, Little M my 6-year old son, Baby B my soon-to-be 3-year old son, and Darling A our precious baby girl.
