I've Misplaced My "Joy"........

"Peace is not merely the absence of conflict in your life,

It is also the defeat of self-doubt in your path."

by Dodinsky

I have a confession......

I have misplaced my "Joy".

Have you ever gone through periods in your life when everything was perfect; the planets lined up precisely; everyone in your life was happy, healthy and well; the sky was bluer; the grass was greener.....

And the whole time you're going through that perfect period in your life, you have that constant little whisper in your head that's telling you it won't last......don't get too comfortable cause it'll be taken from you.....

Well, lately I've been feeling that time has come.  I've been missing my Joy.  It just seems like everyone I know is sick....or in crisis-mode......or just plain sad.

But in an attempt to get my Joy back, I was looking back through snapshots I've taken of where I've been and what I've seen over the past few weeks and it dawned on me, my Joy has been there all along........I just needed to open my eyes.

Flea Market Canton Weekend........

Sunday, February 5, 2012

No, this is not a side-ways peace sign.......

Nor some kind of "gang symbol"........

It's the total number of hours it took me to lose the hotel room key after check-in........

My girlfriends, Becky and Kim (you remember her....she was our neighbor that moved away from the lake several years ago and we boo-hoo'd for weeks and you, my Bloggers, were forced to listen to my whining....) and I headed to Canton this weekend to see what kind of trouble we could get ourselves into.  Unfortunately, no trouble was found, but we did find lots of other things.....

So much so that Liz barely fit in the back of Kim's truck.........
