JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 267 :: joy is #1

30 Sep

{the best}


Last night I wrote about this paint splash that Justin found on our wall. 


And tonight, I’m sharing what it reminds us of… or who it reminds us of!  It’s #1 Pup, of course. 

 

It seems like such a sign. As if Pup had a hand in helping us find a new home after we said goodbye to him. He couldn’t make the cross-country move with us, but somehow he made it here anyway. His marking splashed across a wall in the bathroom shower. It was just a mistake by the painters, but to us it’s another reason to believe we were meant to be here.

On my plane ride home yesterday I sat next to an 82-year-old man who just buried his wife. He was flying “home” without his love for the first time in 62-years. He told me that was okay because “as long as people are alive who remember her, she will always be around.”

It’s always hard to lose someone, anyone, even a pet. But this just reminds me that we never really lose anyone as long as they are in our hearts. And maybe even reflected on our walls. 
What joy.

More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

{guess}

Justin found this paint splatter on the wall of our new townhouse… I will give you one guess what it reminds us of…  Since I am boarding a plane home, I will have to reveal the answer tomorrow. But, I can say this: it brings me great joy!

Can you guess?

More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 265 :: joy is jammies

27 Sep


{self care}

I find myself in my jammies in a hotel room. It feels like a self care night. And, let me say, it brings me great joy.  Joy is indeed, the little things. 

Here’s to the little things!

More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 264 :: joy is travel days

26 Sep


{joyful}

Today was a travel day. To me, that means new adventures. Joy is bringing me tons of new adventures this year and travel too. Today’s just happens to find me in Columbus, Ohio.

It’s the Buckeye State and in the land of the Buckeye’s I am reminded of my time with the Wolverines. Two different sides of the same coin and two different adventures in life. 

Joy is saying hello to new adventures… no matter which side of the coin you may find yourself. 

More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 263 :: joy is catching up

25 Sep


{this is us}

Sometimes joy is as simple as sitting on the couch and relaxing at night. To complete the scene, add in a few episodes of This Is Us (and a few tears) to get caught up with the rest of the world.

Here’s to the joy of sitting, relaxing and unwinding. 
More tomorrow… 

Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 262 :: joy is memories

24 Sep



{remember} 

This weekend we finally unpacked and hung pictures on the walls.  They included art, prints, and memories from so many places we have lived. Including Martha’s Vineyard, Idaho, Florida, Oregon, and Washington. They all hold a special place in my heart but my favorite is an art piece, a charcoal drawing I created in college. It’s a reflection of our young faces, looking out from the canvas into the future. 

Who would have thought we would have the journey we have taken. All the moves, locations, states, adventures and memories. They all started way back then, back to those two young people, excited by the idea of being together. 

Joy is finding old memories and making new ones. 
More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 261 :: joy is watching your team

23 Sep


{on Sunday night} 

It’s football Sunday night and we have the Patriots on, of course. But this time, they are playing late into the night. It’s already 10pm and the game isn’t halfway over. That’s the difference between the west coast and the east coast. Time zones.

The real joy for us is to just see the game televised. Well, I should say, to see every game televised. Win or lose.     

Joy is rooting for your home team.
More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 260 :: joy is hanging pictures

22 Sep



{on the wall} 

We have been unpacking, it seems, for weeks. Today we finally started to hang pictures – and it brings me so much joy. Photos, art, prints and more. They all carry memories of places we have lived, visited and dreams we have held.   

As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words… and heaps of joy.
More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 259 :: joy is friday night

21 Sep



{movie night} 

Happy Friday! Here’s to a weekend ahead. What better way to start than Friday Night Movie Night. Tonight we watched Blockers, a walk down prom memory lane. What joy it is to have the classic memories of high school. And what better joy it is to know you survived it all.  

Here’s to the joy of movies. 
More tomorrow… Lovemore,
Jamie
