Meri's Musings

So, let's see. . . .   where's my joy? Let me think. Ok, you'll think I'm nuts, but I love going to the market where things are all organized  and colorful. It's a feast for the eyes and nose. . . and even the taste buds, since there are usually free samples of interesting cheeses and fresh fruit. I'm enjoying my new bicycle. This isn't mine --- my new bike is a bright blue and customized with a shortened crank and pedals since my left knee complained about the longer ones (it's had four surgeries, poor thing,  since I blew it out skiing 20 years ago). But I love this cheery pink and especially the basket full of flowers. My basket -- purchased yesterday and not yet hung in place -- will be carrying a soft, furry puppy instead of flowers. Too bad we can't make it all the way to this cupcake dispensary. Seeing the deer in my back yard always makes me stop and smile and hold my breath.

This is my birthday week,  so in my haste to go partying with friends and drink my annual Margarita I totally forgot to hit publish on the post. Things are cooking in my life and I have two families interested in the house, so perhaps I'll have an offer in hand soon. That, my friends, would indeed be a cause  for a joyful celebration. How are you cultivating joy?  Celebrate it. Share it.   1. do a post that tells and shows what gives you joy.    2. capture the URL of the specific post and paste it into  the Mr. Linky box along with your info. 3. Visit other players and let their joy infect you. Leave them a comment because everyone  enJOYS getting positive feedback. Let's keep the epidemic of JOY going!

Sorry this post is later than usual. We had a total internet outage, apparently due to a tow truck taking out  the main cable line from Seattle to points west. No internet. No phone service. It was like going back to the old days. Harraumph! We're back to normal now,  thank goodness. I guess that's cause for joy. How are you cultivating joy?  Celebrate it.
