JOY


It has taken me awhile to find a post that could be next to the one about my cousin Kassie and her son Jerym. My good friend, Teresa, helped me find the words. She gave me the sweetest card and gift the other day. She said she had been thinking so much of what had happened to my cousin and her children. She said she'd thought a lot of the time she spends with her kids and family, how not to take it for granted and to find more JOY. My goal: to spend less time worrying about the trivial things in life and to spend more time with the important ones- my family (my girls, my husband, my parents, my brother, my nieces, my nephews, my in-laws, my cousins, my aunts, my uncles, my friends--- ALL my family) and to find JOY in the time spent!

Everyone is smiling in your picture, even Darren! Taking a nice family picture certainly brings some joy into my life. (Doesn't happen often enough)
