Well hey there! Thanks for dropping by! I'm Joy (and that handsome guy up there with me is my awesome hubby and best friend). That explains part of this new blog title! I am the 6th of seven children, including 5 girls and 2 boys. For years I thought I was named Joy because it rhymed with boy and my Dad had been feeling outnumbered. Haha! Occasionally I wondered if it was because I was at the end of the family and they were ready to be done having children. BUT, as an adult I found out that my Mom really wanted another baby and they were so happy when I finally joined the family! I like that reason best of all.
I think that my name has influenced my personality and outlook on life to a large degree. I am pretty optimistic most of the time. I love to laugh and find silliness in the funny little things of everyday life. This is good because I have a husband who makes me laugh all the time... as well as making me roll my eyes with his clever Dad jokes! I have silly children who are entertaining and have picked up their Dad's sense of humor. I enjoy going through life with a light heart and not needing to take myself too seriously. I'm normal though and I get down and bluesy like many of you. In fact, for years I've dealt with depression and anxiety. One of the ways I can deal with that best (if I catch it early enough!) is to look on the bright side... to count my blessings... to find inspiration that uplifts! And I want to share some of that with YOU! Thanks for joining me!
