Keep A Joy Book

This Sparked Me!

Years ago I started writing in a "joy" book. Each day I added at least one thing that brought me joy. I lost the book for years, but happened upon it while cleaning. It is amazing how writing (and later reading) one small happy incident or memory each day can lift your spirits.

    I really like this idea!

    It's like finding a beloved treasure, isn't it? What a great idea! When the first GD started to talk and say cute things, I started keeping a journal of the things that she said (and, now, the 2nd GD too) and I'm going to compile them into a book of sorts to give to them when they grow up. Hugs.
