JOY

The main thing that I have learned while living on this planet for as long as I have (which is kind of long) is that
 LIFE IS AMAZING! 
Yes, it can take side trips to;
 FRUSTRATING,
 DEPRESSING,
 DARK,
 and OVERWHELMING, but it always comes back to AMAZING. Little things like:
A BIRD SINGING,
A SPIDER SPINNING A WEB,
AN UNEXPECTED SMILE,
JOY.  
Joy is a simple three letter word that packs a punch. Joy can come from anywhere and out of nowhere. It can sideswipe you when you least expect it. Watch someone do something that they love to do---the look on their face when they accomplish their task is joy. it doesn't matter how much money they have or don't have in that one moment joy is all there is.
My task for this year, a resolution of sorts, is to grow the joy in myself by doing more of whatever brings that simple three letter word into my life. By doing this, I will see if it has made any changes in my life or the people around me. Here's to an AMAZING,JOYFUL year!

Reading this post brought joy to a rather bleak Monday morning. Thank you - I can now face my endless to-do list without a line-creased forehead.

    Author & Illustrator

    I was born in Southern California, so grew up believing in dreams and magic (thanks to Hollywood and Disneyland.) While I occasionally feel duped, I still have a core fascination with all things fairy land-ish that will never leave me! I have a degree in Graphic Design from Chico State University.  My art career has gone on tangents here and there, but  always returns when called. I am a published author/illustrator in the field of children's books.
