J is for…JOY
If I made this sign I would have left off the It’s All Good part. There are things that are not good and in fact quite evil that happen every day, but today I’m concentrating on Joy. You can have joy in the midst of hard times.
Joy is contagious!
So today as I experience another 100+ day in Southern California I will choose Joy in my journey, especially since I’m journeying home to the Seattle area and cooler temperatures today. While down here I have found a lot of joy spending time with my dear old pop (91), visiting with sisters, brothers, and nieces and nephews and old friends. I’ll leave you with a photo of the joy my little grand niece showed when we celebrated her 5th birthday.
I’m linking to ABC Wednesday with thanks to Denise Nesbitt and the ABC Team.
I hope you find Joy today!

yes Joy is infectious! Love the happy 5 year old. So angelic.
I have a friend who always says, “There’s no such thing as a bad day. Some are just better than others.”
Wishing you a joyful day, Ellen! Indeed, joy is a choice. And I love all your joy-ful pictures.
That cute little girl is the biggest Joy! Wonderful shots and post for J ~ for ABCW ~ thanks!

Can’t go wrong with a post full of joy. What a precious little girl! laurie
Brutal temps in Southern California! Glad that you have had this time with your father and your CA family. You are going to be thrilled to get back home where it’s cooler.
I agree – there is joy to be found in every day!
Yes Joy can be found even in the little things. I totally agree too that not “all” is good. Glad you had a good visit with your family and your little niece is just adorable.
A joy-filled post. Love the 5 year old’s smile.
I also wish you joy today! There is some joy in the world, but we are shocked by the monstrous actions of cowardly murderers who have no right to call themselves muslim . Allah is not a God of revenge, who orders us to kill people of other religions. Thou shalt not kill! One of the ten commandments.!
Wil, ABCW Team.
With the holiday season nearing….this is a good reminder….That’s a happy kid.
What a sweet little girl! Her smile radiates Joy!
