Share the Joy Thursday–Round here…

From this week’s Joy List :

1. Princess Chumba Whumba, (Pumpkin), the bedroom cat, who gives the best nose to nose kisses ev’ah!

2. Azzy ,(Aslan) who is Puss in Boots cute even upside down !

3. Boo, (Cosmos), my talking Black Beauty of a kitty, who loves to join me in the studio, whether I like it or not.

4. The beautiful Chica-leeka-lulu,(Chiquitita), who dreams of squirrel catching through the closed studio doors.

(Why do we bother giving our pets real names when we end up having a bazillion nick names for them ?!)

5. Having creative time in the studio and being visited by new Rock Beings !

It feels good to have some new things in my Etsy shop as well.

Rock Being – Who Are You ? (SOLD)

Rock Being – Little Wise One 

(Available in my Etsy shop)

6. Finding beauty in the darkening season, even if it isn’t my favorite !

Moon through the bare trees, 4:30 pm yesterday afternoon. (toooooo early for dark!)

 

Focusing on the joy and small graces is such a comfort in these chaotic, challenging times. I think it is actually our biggest, most important work during our time here on the planet.

Thanks to my friend Meri for bringing joy into focus every Thursday !

Have a joyous Thursday, Beautiful Ones !

Share the Joy–Joy Visits

From this week’s Joy List :

Furry kid love…

Bedroom cat, Pumpkin who is the most loving purr kitty around,

as long as it is with me,

and not another furry kid.

And this pig pile of cats and dog at the end of the couch.

Pile of cuteness !

The Mish Mash fun I am having with Deb Taylor, who encouraged us to make prayer flags this week.

My stitched Rock Being Balance flag is now winging its way to a dear friend as a special gift filled with love and faith along with some other Rock Fairy goodies.

A last bouquet of flowers from around the house.

Black-eyed Susan, Sedum, and one Rose of Sharon joined the Hosta leaves.

to make a bouquet for a little welcome altar in the guest room.

All ready for a visit from

my Mommy !!!!

Yay !

My Mom is driving down for a long weekend.

It is supposed to be gorgeous for the next few days and you can be sure we will take advantage of it with a trip to the beach…

for a replay of our fun last year,

as well as finding the time for some shopping, and snuggling and loving.

Should be a joy-filled visit !

Wishing you a joyous day too, Beautiful Ones !

Share the Joy Thursday – It’s all Around You

An Early Morning Conversation at The Yellow House on Orange Street

“Where are you going ?” he says,

puzzled by why she is headed out the door before her morning cup of coffee is done.

“It is Share the Joy Thursday. I am going to find joy.” she says.

Morning light on a steamy June morning.

79 degrees at 7:00am.

Light dancing with the clematis.

I see a happy face. Do you ?

Joining in the light and shadow play.

With one of my first blooms of sweet, sweet lavender.

Orange sandals on the grass.

I have these in red too.

Yes, I am a shoe whore.

But they bring me such joy !

She re-enters the house.

“Did you find joy ?” he asks.

“Oh, yes”, she replies, “She is so very easy to find around here.”

Indoors and out !

Meet Uta, David’s tiny piggy bank,

from the Goodwill store that had to come home the other day with us for $1.99.

Where does she get her name ?

The fact that my man is still able to be child-like in his joy

is one of the many things I adore about him.

The fact that he has the muscle to install these and

keep me from whining about the heat is an added bonus !

May the joy be abundant in your neck of the woods as well today !

Big Love, Beautiful Ones !

 

More Joy at Meri’s Musings every Thursday.
