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.
Brilliant!

ReplyDeleteJob 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.
ReplyDeleteDear 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!
ReplyDelete"joy is securely in place" - I love how it both describes and defines your experience at the same time. That's a perfect O :)
