I’m obsessed with the word “joy” today.
I’ve been obsessed with words lately. Mostly because of my promise this year to explore abundance.
ABUNDANCE.
The more you say the word out loud the funnier it sounds. And, really, I have yet to meet anyone who defines “abundance” the same way.
I have a sneaking suspicion that JOY is what ties abundance together. So today I took my interest to Pinterest.
Here’s what popped up on my screen when I searched for JOY:
You’ve got clothes, books, children, food …you name it and everything else including the kitchen sink.
And some cute puppy photos too.
Although, my very favorite JOY pin is this one titled:
DETERMINATION & JOY:
Exactly.
So here’s to determination and joy.
Maybe that combination is the underlining meaning of abundance? Stick with me, we’ll find out…
More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie
P.S. I shared my gift of the day on The Promise Daily — sign up if you haven’t yet. It might bring you joy?

Jamie, “Joy” is one of my favorite words, because even when life is a disappointment or trial, we can still have a deep joy. I believe that joy is that which runs deep in our spirit, and it flows from gratitude, appreciation, and abundance, and the ability to recognize when we have them.
I could not have said this better, Mimi! Wow, really love every word of what you wrote. Thank you for posting — actually this would make a nice poster! xo~Jamie
a bit of joy – thinking of your friends, whether you are up and wabnt to stay that way. or down and want to get up.
Love Your Friend
Oops – that should read want – I used to say to my kids I want doesn’t get – but that didn’t get joy, so maybe it wasn’t so smart
You bring joy to all our lives. And love.
Joy to you too Diane! When do I get to see you? Email me!
