My joy was shattered.
Friends came and showed me such love.
Joy is whole again !
**************
I so loved all the responses to my shattered joy yesterday !
So many amazing peeps who got what it meant to me when that poor “O” bit the dust !
And so many loving comments about how I am connected to them through the joy I try and share here. That touched me deeply.
Also, some creative people with great suggestions about what I could put in place of my broken letter.
I loved bacon’s idea of a sunshine ! And Mary was right, Hobby Lobby was the first place that came to mind to go looking for a replacement.
And that’s where I found what worked for me !
This perfect light turquoise round wooden mirror in just the right size!
It makes a perfect new “O” !
This morning, with all that blog love,
with the help of my sweet David,
JOY is securely in place !
Thank you, my beautiful Friends !
I hope you know how much you mean to me and how much I treasure the connections we make here in Blogland and beyond.
Sending Big, Big Love !
For more haiku and more love, head over to recuerda mi corazon.

Awesome solution and SO cool that it's a mirror. Nice color, too! Happy weekend to you - filled with JOY of course.
I love what your JOY turned into. Looks great in your house too!
Friends are good like that! I like how you did this :-)
oh my goodness how perfect... and now you can see your self right in the middle of joy... LOVE THIS!!!
I love that your joy will be mirrored on your own face when you look at it!!
I'm so glad that what originally seemed like a loss turned out to be such a gift. How perfect it turned out! Turquoise, no less! Just perfect. It's so true that you bring so much joy to so many others. I can attest to that for myself. XO

The best friends know just what to do, and when!
Drumming haiku
I have heard that joy is:
Job well done
Optimism
You
:-)
It fits and you can even see yourself in this joy!
Joy is jOy no matter how it appears to us. Marvelous restoration.
Dear Kim, how perfect that your face radiates from this jOy!!! Or anyone else who might catch a glimpse of their refection through your words and art! I loved seeing this transformation, and hearing how your sweetness is reflected back to you in so many different ways! Thanks for dancing with me Kim!
"joy is securely in place" - I love how it both describes and defines your experience at the same time. That's a perfect O :)
A beautiful haiku this.. I am happy to be here..hope you will too be happy visiting me here:
