Following the family blogs brings me joy.

Keeping my home ship-shape brings me joy (and I have some work to do) ((but it does come an item at a time - don't have to be "done" to find the joy)).

Leading the music and feeling like I actually connected with the unwashed masses brings me joy. Well, I'm sure they are washed, but you get the idea.

okay, what makes me happy? The cool breeze that's blowing through my door for one, my sweet little baby who smiles all the time. The church, and the amazing opportunities it brings into my life. And the lemon meringue pie that's waiting to be eaten in my fridge.
