Today I ran across an old post and realized I needed to reread my own words again. Lately I have been struggling with finding "joy". Everything I see on TV or read on the internet is just plain awful, mean, odd, weird, or plain old crazy. I find myself being pulled into a negativity that I know isn't good for me; a place of darkness. Here's my old blog post.

After reading it twice I realize that I, me, am the person that controls my joy....not the TV, and certainly not the rants that I see on Facebook. I am responsible for ME. I need to find the "joy" of washing dishes again. Perhaps it is all the little "joys" that make the deeper happiness in all of us. I may have to plug in the iron. The simple joys.
I love you.
I'm going to try to blog/write again, my friends. It has been difficult finding time or should I say, difficult to find a time when I wasn't on Facebook. I am trying my best to put Facebook away for a while because Facebook rants, and sometimes even raves, can put me in a "negative" mood. I'm going to try.
I can't post this on September 26 without sweet memories of two people who had the same September 26 birthday; Mrs. Tucker and my dad. Love them forever.
