*J* is for *Joy* and *Journey*

When I wrote this title...*J* is for *Joy* and *Journey*....the thought came to me....ahhhh Joy Journeys....where can that thought lead you to???? Take a Joy Journey...either in your backyard...your favorite garden ...the beach....in your imagination.....anyway you go on a joy journey will lead back to your soul...for these are the things that make you...well, YOU! Your joys may be the same as someone elses, but, your experience to them is unique to you and how you feel it.....am I rambling here???..I dunno... For instance...I get great Joy in creating .....either mixed media or these wee faeries....believe it or not, they have actually helped me thru some tough times.... creating sends me on quite a joy journey...

While creating this faerie, I was on the phone with Marcie (http://www.the-rustic-victorian.blogspot.com/)) and I was dyeing the laces ... I did not bother to put on gloves for the process and told her.."Oh wow!! I have purple hands!"!...Purple Hands equals Joy in my book!!! why? Because I am creating!!! who cares if I have to go around with purple hands for a few days....not me!!!!

Here 's an idea.......create a Joy Journal...kinda like a Gratitude Journal...only write down the things that really make your heart smile......... ummmm purple hands?

or...... bubbles on the beach!!!!.... do you see the hearts?? Heart bubbles...yippeeeee!!!!

I love the quote...."The Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"

these steps remind me of the song..."Stairway to Heaven"...or The Wizard of OZ...The yellow brick road......

but, like Dorothy says......"There is no place like Home"......yuppers, after any journey I take, I do long for getting Home....snuggling up in my purple chair with my wee doggie in my lap....a cuppa tea (or a glass of wine!) and a great magazine.....hey...that is another journey I am off on..a dreamy one!

Heart Hugs,
