Today, I am grateful for sleep. Oh mighty and powerful slumber. Thankfully, I rarely have trouble sleeping but last night I was able to finally sleep my way to finally fighting off this cold that has hounded me all week. For staying healthy-I am appreciative.

I stumbled upon this little treasure of a blog titled FINDING JOY at http://findingjoy.net/. It’s got some really wonderful pearls of wisdom, but most of all realities of being a parent in this age of social media, pinterest, and high expectations of ourselves. While my daily parenting days are over I still love reminders of joy and how I can be a wonderful influence to all of the children in my life. This blog gives us lots of ideas and who couldn’t use more JOY in their life.

What brings you joy?
