Day 890: 1st Grade Lunch

We (Uncle included) met Sweet P for lunch at school today. Last day of 1st Grade! I can't believe how quickly she's growing up! She was so thrilled and proud to have her family there. It was really fun to do that for her. Definitely a Joyful Moment.

And of course, every Joyful Moment is made better when it involves sandwiches from Jimmy John's--which this one did.

And then their Uncle went out and played soccer with them. I will definitely have to include the photo when I have my computer again. It was pretty funny watching him play with about 20 little 1st Graders.

I'm so proud of my Sweet P for yet another great year of school. We got her final report card today. And, of course, it was fantastic Joyful Moment. We're so blessed to have her, especially as our oldest. She is so great.

Wishing you all fantastic Joyful Moments!

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.
