For years and years now, on my personal blog, my emails, texts and even this blog, I have signed off with ~never lose your joy. I hold this most dear to my heart. When things are no longer a JOY to me, I need to re-evaluate what I am doing. This doesn’t always mean I am “happy”, but have an inner peace that is JOY to my life. For instance, I don’t get that happy euphoric feeling some people do with exercise, but I am rather joyful when my clothes fit comfortable. Another is disciplining my children, oh I want to spoil them rotten, but them becoming good adults is important, and brings great joy to my heart. Then there is the occasional dark chocolate mini….you get me?
Imagine my JOY, when Forever Joy Designs popped in here at the Lily Pad!I got pondering, in the way that makes some of the awesome peeps in Lily Pad land worry…yeah…I wanted to try something a bit different. I game of sorts, that everyone could play. Going to the boss and Renee of Forever Joy Designs was met with welcome and approval, so I pondered some more. I thought, perhaps, EVERYone needed to Find some JOY!
Yep, yep, yep! Starting tomorrow, a fast and furiously fun game will open in the forums. It is pure delightful, and you will laugh and perhaps growl a bit at me. I know you will enjoy it, because Renee of Forever Joy Designs is giving everyone who gets it right a $2 coupon, and ONE lucky winner will receive a $10 coupon to her store!
This is just a teaser! Tomorrow, you might want to hit that NEW POST button in the forum for FINDING JOY thread! It will be a good time! I can’t wait to play along.

Anne! You are such a tease! I love it- I know what you have cookin’- and I know it’s going to be fun! I just wanted to say that I feel EXACTLY te same way about “Joy”- Having Joy isn’t about giggling all day- it’s a different level of happiness :)
I wrote a post about this a little while ago called “i Don’t Have to Be happy” – you can take a look here: http://foreverjoydesigns.blogspot.com/2014/03/i-dont-have-to-be-happy.html
