Mom Joy

I am no longer the only one in the house who changes the roll of toilet paper!
I've come home to a house that is cleaner than it was when I went out!
My kids send text messages to each other, often about silliness I've said or done.

I have come to appreciate every age, every stage, and every uniqueness. Thank you Al Adams.

December 5, 2009

Finding joy is not something I did. Throughout life, Joy found me, despite circumstances (we all have them) or maybe because of them.
Joy sought me out and I am forever grateful.
Then, six years ago tonight, I found Joy - or maybe, again, Joy found me only this time, I let her in.
Joy is me.
Joy is we.
Joy is nee.
I was Joy before Victoria.
I am Joy again.
